Its story
In the recognisable W of Cassiopeia glows an orange K-class star, whose light set out some 924 years ago, when Christian knights reached Jerusalem during the First Crusade. It is an aged giant, cool at the surface yet swollen to sizes that would dwarf the Sun, with calm atmospheres where delicate dusts condense.
