Its story

Four hundred and sixty light years separate this orange star of Perseus from the observer. Its current photon set out around 1565, while Philip II was ordering the foundation of St Augustine in Florida and Dutch shipyards were readying an oceanic era. A temperate K-type whose envelope has already begun to expand, shining in that copper tone the human eye reads as warmth, even though it corresponds to temperatures cooler than the Sun's.
