Its story

Sigma Capricorni is an orange star at 1,121 light-years, one of the many faint lights tracing the Sea-Goat's strange outline. Its warm tone and respectable distance mean its light travels an entire millennium before finally reaching us. When it set out across interstellar space, the Muslims were consolidating Al-Andalus and Persian astronomers were honing the astrolabes that would later cross into medieval Europe.
