Its story
Within Eridanus the river glows an orange K-type star 501 light years away. Its light set out when Luther was nailing his 95 theses to Wittenberg and lighting the fuse of the Reformation. Cooler and older than the Sun, its warm hue evokes the prolonged twilight of a star that is slowly stretching toward its final giantism.
