Its story
In the heart of Hercules beats a yellow G-type star about 471 light-years away. Its light set out around 1555, in the early modern era, when Nostradamus was publishing his Centuries in Salon-de-Provence. Although it resembles the Sun in color, it is far more distant and far more removed from any nearby company —a pale sun loose among the hero's muscles.
