Its story
In the small southern Reticulum shines an orange K-type star, about 702 light-years away. Its light set out around 1324, in the Middle Ages, when Marco Polo was dictating his last travel memories in a Genoese prison. Cooler than the Sun and far more distant, it arrives with a coppery, ancient gleam, caught inside the astronomer's small grid of threads.
