Nearby starIts story
Only 48.5 light-years lie between us: tonight's light departed around 1977, when the Voyager probes were lifting off toward the outer planets. It shines in Lyra, the celestial lyre, with an almost solar yellow —a near sister to the Sun in colour and temperature, mapped by the Hipparcos satellite as a reference astrometric object.
