Its story
Mature orange in Grus, 787 light years away. The light now settling on the southern horizon set out around 1238, in the midst of the Reconquista, when James I took Valencia. A calm K-class star, with no detectable physical drama: Hipparcos measured its parallax and brightness, and from there only the imagination can paint its surface of gentle fire.
