Its story
Upsilon Aquilae is a white A-type star 175 light-years away, in the Eagle, not far from the blaze of Altair. Its surface sits near 8,000 degrees and pours out that almost chromatically neutral light proper to A-types: pure white, without gold or blue. A modest piece of the great Summer Triangle asterism, which dominates the zenith every August at temperate latitudes.
