Its story
59 Herculis is set into the hero's body, a white A-type star 322 light-years away. Its surface is hotter and more luminous than the Sun's, its glow more metallic — that nearly silvered tone which sets A-type stars apart on a dark night. The light reaching us tonight departed before the modern periodical press even existed.
