Its story
In Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer, 125.7 light-years away, burns a whitish F-type sun. Slightly warmer and more luminous than our own, its glow travelled through space while Marie Curie was isolating radium in a Parisian shed and Picasso was beginning his Blue Period. A little over a century of voyage for a light only now stepping out of the sky's portrait.
