Its story
White and clean, it shines 290 light-years away among the dense fields of Sagittarius, the direction of the Milky Way's centre. Its light departed around 1736, when Linnaeus was publishing his Systema Naturae and starting to order life on paper. An A-type star, young in the galactic cycle, hot enough to burn in bluish white.
