The Star | Setting
This story is set in 2500 A.D., on a space traveling ship that has left Earth, arrived at a distant planetary nebula around a star that went nova long ago, and is now returning to Earth.
There are few suggestions of technical descriptions of the spaceship, and scarcely more depictions of the crew; this writing style does not seem sketchy, but terse and to the point. It is as if the story were set in the simplicity of a monk's cell or told with the plainness of the radio communications between Houston Space Center and the Apollo astronauts.
