Its story
Vulpecula, the little Fox stitched between Cygnus and Aquila, holds here a white class A star. Its photon has crossed 470 years of void: it left when Drake was rounding the Americas in the Golden Hind and maps still drew dragons in the unexplored oceans. The light has not changed color along the way; the world has.
