Its story
In Boötes, the Herdsman who drives the great wagons of the northern sky, shines a white star of cool tones. Its light set out around 1666, the year London burned in the Great Fire that devoured the medieval city. Hotter and more massive than the Sun, it radiates the luminous serenity proper to young A-type stars.
