Its story

In Pegasus, the winged horse of the autumn sky, vibrates a luminous orange K-type star at an extraordinary distance, on the order of 326,000 light-years. Its light wandered through space before humanity had even left Africa —one of those beacons whose location challenges the very idea of belonging to our galaxy. Cool at the surface yet immense in luminosity, it looks like an ember from another cosmic shore.
