Its story
84 Herculis shines from just 127 light-years away, a very close distance in galactic terms, within the summer quadrant of Hercules. It is a G-type star like the Sun, though its apparent brightness suggests a more evolved phase or somewhat greater luminosity than our own star. The proximity means the light caught tonight left the star around the end of the 19th century.
