Its story
The Swan spreads its wings along the Milky Way, and among its feathers thousands of stars can be counted. This is a white A-type 453 light-years away. Its light departed around 1573, the year Tycho Brahe observed the supernova that would forever demolish the Aristotelian idea of an unchanging heaven. It still burns, young and clean, in the same sky that revealed itself then as mutable.
