Its story
Coiled in the northern spirals of Draco, this white A-type star glows about 240 light-years away. Its light began its journey around 1785, when William Herschel was publishing his maps of the Milky Way and Mozart was premiering The Marriage of Figaro. Hotter and brighter than the Sun, its white surface radiates with liveliness. We contemplate it today as a postcard from the late Enlightenment crossing the northern sky.
