Its story
In the modest Aries, the zodiacal ram, shines a yellow-white star about 137 light-years away. Its light set out around 1889, when Eiffel was inaugurating in Paris the tower that would amaze a generation. Slightly hotter than the Sun and similar in size, it feels like a distant cousin still obeying the same rules of nuclear fire.
