G2 V

First direct sighting of our local G2 V dwarf for a while. Theoreticians, of course, posited its existence, but who was really to know what lay beyond the grey cloud roof that is the Irish sky? Today, on wandering through campus, it made its presence felt first by shining through the windows and then as I stepped out into the daylight itself.
