Its story
This white A-type star rests within Pavo of the southern sky, 277 light years away. Its light set out when Newton was publishing his Principia and celestial mechanics was changing forever. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it shines with that serene clarity of white stars that do not twitter on calm nights.
