Its story
Far, very far —some 1,437 light-years— an F-type yellow-white star shines in the claws of Scorpius. Its light set off when the Tang emperors ruled China and Irish monks were illuminating gospels on parchment. Fourteen centuries later, that modest ray closes the circle and lands in an earthly pupil.
