Its story
Orange and calm in Cassiopeia, the queen seated upon her celestial throne. Her light has been travelling 372 years: it left around 1654, when Pascal and Fermat were founding the calculus of probabilities and Velázquez was painting «Las Meninas» at the court of Philip IV. A clean K, unvarying, a warm and sustained flame.
