Its story
In Sagittarius, the archer aiming at the Galaxy's heart, shines a white A-class star whose light set out around 1546, while Michelangelo was still painting in the Pauline Chapel. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it casts a crisp glow over one of the Milky Way's densest corners, where nebulae, clusters and rumours of a black hole pile up. Its quiet shine is a gentle beacon among far more famous treasures.
