Its story
24 Ophiuchi is a white star about three hundred and four light-years away, within the vast Ophiuchus —the serpent-bearer the modern zodiac almost claims as its thirteenth sign. Its A type signals a hot atmosphere and a clean glow, befitting stars still in full stable life. Few know that Ophiuchus witnessed, in 1604, the last supernova seen by the naked eye in our galaxy.
