Its story
Orange on the small easel of Pictor —a southern constellation Lacaille invented to honour the painter— this K giant reaches us from 563 light-years. Its light set off around 1463, while Piero della Francesca was painting geometric perspectives in Italy that would change the way of seeing. Painter and painted, perhaps in sympathy.
