Nearby starIts story
Surprisingly close at just 41.7 light-years, this Sun-like yellow star hides in the sting of Scorpius. The light now crossing the atmosphere left it around the early 1980s, when Voyager was flying past Saturn and Pac-Man was invading the arcades. A discreet neighbour, almost an echo of our own Sun.
