Its story
An F-type yellow-white star caught among the grasses of Ophiuchus, some 135 light-years away. Its light left when Beethoven was still composing his late string quartets and stagecoaches were the fastest way to cross Europe. That same brightness, after a century and a quarter on the road, now reaches the observer's lens.
