Its story

Within the hero Perseus, still brandishing Medusa's head, glows a yellow G-type giant nearly 790 light-years away. Its light set out when the Iberian Christian kingdoms were waging the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, in 1212. It shares its colour with the Sun but far exceeds it in size and luminosity, an elder sister swollen by the passage of stellar time.
