Its story
In Cygnus, the swan that spreads its wings along the Milky Way, glows an orange K-type star, cooler than the Sun, with that warm amber-like light. Its glow travels close to 329 years to reach us: the one we receive today departed around 1696, when Halley was publishing his catalog of the southern hemisphere after observing from Saint Helena, opening the southern sky to Europe.
