Its story
In Octans —the constellation framing the south celestial pole—, an orange K-type star burns at 485 light-years. A region of sky known only to inhabitants of the southern hemisphere. Its light left when Magellan had just crossed the strait that now bears his name and the first circumnavigation of the globe was still incomplete.
