Its story
48 Cassiopeiae shines white and crisp 115 light-years away, caught within the inverted W of the seated queen. Its type-A surface burns near ten thousand degrees, almost twice as hot as the Sun. The light reaching a human eye tonight departed when the first steam locomotives were still being assembled.
