Its story
Warm orange in the winding course of Eridanus, 184 light years away. The light reaching tonight's European sky departed when Beethoven premiered his Ninth Symphony in Vienna in 1824. A serene K-class star, free of dramatic gestures, brushing its corner of the celestial river with the warm hue of a wax candle.
