Its story
Orange, within the bright body of Perseus, 648 light-years away. When that light departed, Europe was entering the fourteenth century and preparing —unknowingly— for the Black Death that would decimate entire populations. K-type stars like this one have shone for billions of years and will keep shining long after our Sun fades.
