Its story
In Gemini, the twins of the winter sky cradle an orange K-type star about 251 light-years away. Its light began its voyage around 1775, when James Watt unveiled his improved steam engine and Europe peered into the industrial age. Cooler than the Sun, its amber hue evokes a lantern at the end of a long walk.
