Its story
Also in Orion, but this time an orange K-type giant at 309 light-years. Its light set off when Linnaeus was publishing the «Systema Naturae» and humankind was beginning to order life into categories. The star, indifferent to all taxonomy, remains what it is: a photon crossing the void in search of an eye.
