Star being used to focus JWST mirrors in ED

I just wanted to point out one of those 'if you can find it in the night sky you can fly to it in ED' opportunities I just ran across:

Reading the below article re: the James Webb Space Telescope, in the text it mentioned that NASA is currently using a "sun-like star named HD84406 to focus the mirrors." While a system of that name doesn't exist in-game, I've learned that the same star can have many names in the different star catalogs. Sure enough, the same star is named 'HIP 48034' in the Hipparcos catalog, and that system is in-game!

I think I'll go and see what the view is like for whoever might be looking back in our direction from there…
