Its story
In Scorpius, alongside the wake of Antares, a white A-class sun shines 464 light-years away. Hotter than our star, its light crossed space while Galileo was discovering the moons of Jupiter and dismantling the idea that everything revolved around the Earth. Almost half a millennium of travel to slip discreetly into the southern scorpion's sting.
