Its story
In Lepus, the hare fleeing at Orion's feet, shines an orange star, calm and old. Its light crossed some 249 years before reaching us: it set out around 1777, when the United States adopted its first flag and the La Pérouse expedition was being readied in Brest. Cooler than the Sun, it is a patient ember beneath the celestial hunter.
