Its story
Orion again, now with an orange giant 316 light-years away. Its light set out around 1709, the year Bartolomeo Cristofori was refining his pianoforte in Florence and a new musical language was being born. A K-class star traversing three centuries to leave in the eye the same golden timbre as those first hammers.
