Its story
61 Sagittarii shines white about 266 light-years away, in a region of the Archer rich with star clouds and Milky Way fields. Its type-A spectrum reveals a surface close to ten thousand degrees, hotter than the Sun s. The light the eye receives tonight broke free when the first steam vessels were still crossing the Atlantic.
