Its story
θ² Sagittarii shines within the Archer, the constellation that aims its arrow toward the centre of the Milky Way. White and of A-type, some 158 light-years away, she lies in the direction of a sky crowded with nebulae, clusters and dark dust clouds: the very heart of the Galaxy, 26,000 light-years from Earth.
