Its story
Just over a hundred light-years away, a yellow-white F-type star lives in Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer. Its light set out around 1925, the year of Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin premiere and the first serious steps of quantum mechanics with Heisenberg. That tempered wave, indifferent to films and equations, reaches our telescopes today without a single detour.
