Its story

In Cygnus, the celestial swan that seems to fly along the Milky Way, it burns with the orange tone of class K stars. Its light arrived after a journey of nearly 587 years: when it set out, the Portuguese were beginning to explore the coasts of Africa in their caravels and Europe was looking towards the age of great discoveries. It is an aged star on the slow cosmic clock, with a temperature lower than the Sun's, glowing with sustained calm since long before the printing press.
