Its story

In the water-bearer of Aquarius shines an orange K-type star 369 light-years away. Its light set out when Vermeer was painting luminous interiors in Delft and Dutch painting was living its golden age. Cooler than the Sun, its amber tone makes it a calm companion of autumn nights. In a sign associated with water and generosity, it is a warm glow that seems to carry the memory of old harvests.
