Its story

At 249 light-years, in the southern Wolf, shines a yellow-white star of class F whose light set out in the late eighteenth century, when Antoine Lavoisier was laying the foundations of modern chemistry in Paris. Slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it dwells in a young, vital stellar bracket. Its warm tone stains a corner of the southern sky, far from the more famous zodiacal constellations.
