Its story

56 Andromedae is a yellow G-type star about 316 light-years away, in the long body of the chained princess. It shares the Sun s colour and general temperature, though its distance reduces it to a modest 5.7-magnitude dot. Its light set out late in the eighteenth century, while Caroline and William Herschel were sweeping the night sky from England with their enormous reflectors.
