Its story

Within Andromeda the princess glows an orange K-type star 626 light years away. Its light set out when Gutenberg was testing his first prints with movable type in Mainz, at the dawn of the modern book. Cooler than the Sun yet larger and older, it radiates a warm, restful gleam typical of suns that already know the weight of time.
