Its story
In Auriga, the charioteer of the winter sky, shines a yellow G-class sun 317 light-years away. A spectral cousin of our own but more distant, its light departed while Louis XIV reigned at Versailles and Parisian astronomers were measuring, for the first time with precision, the speed of light itself. A serene candle held in the constellation's reins.
