Its story
39 Boötis sits in the Herdsman at 224 light-years, an F-type star hotter and whiter than the Sun. Its light departed in the late eighteenth century, when the first truly modern measuring instruments were being refined. Magnitude 5.68 — modest in brightness, yet the Hipparcos satellite pinned it precisely on the three-dimensional map of the solar neighbourhood.
