Its story
In Hercules, the kneeling hero of the sky, shines a yellow star much like the Sun. Her light took 394 years to arrive: it left when Cervantes had just died and Galileo was still defending his observations before the Inquisition. A quiet G, with no variability or companion, simple hydrogen burning like the one sustaining our days.
