Altair: Decan 19 - Vision & Speed (September 16-25)

The photons entering your eyes right now left Altair in 2008. This A7 V white main-sequence star rotates once every 8.9 hours, so fast it has squashed itself into an oblate spheroid. In 2007, it became the first star other than the Sun whose surface was directly imaged. The Flying Eagle opens Decan 19 with vision and speed: see clearly, move fast, accept the shape that velocity gives you.
