Its story
A temperate orange in the water-bearer's stream, in Aquarius, some 305 light-years away. Its light departed when Peter the Great was modernising Russia and explorers were beginning to chart the South Pacific. It arrives now like a warm drop in the cold current of the autumn sky: small, patient, faithful to its place among the urns of Aquarius.
