Omi

Its story

Omicron Cephei is an orange K-type giant burning in Cepheus, the king consort of Cassiopeia, sketched in the north as a house with a pointed roof. Its light takes a little over 203 years to cross the space that separates us —enough that today's observation reaches us from the era when the United States Constitution was being drafted. A warm beacon among the circumpolar stars of the northern pole.
