Its story
Orion returns, this time with an orange giant 473 light-years away. Its light departed around 1553, the year Michael Servetus published his treatise and Andreas Vesalius completed his anatomy of the human body: Europe was looking inwards. A K-class star that crossed the late Renaissance and arrives now with the glow of an old manuscript.
