Tau-7

Its story

Tau-7 Serpentis is a white A-type star at one hundred and seventy-three light-years, one of the many pieces composing the divided body of the Serpent. It belongs to Serpens Caput, the half the ancients imagined as the reptile's head held by the healer Ophiuchus. Its cold, young light slips between constellations of medical symbolism, in a region where myth and sky entwine.
