Its story

Another point in Canis Major, this time an orange K-class ember lost on the flanks of the great dog. At 1186 light-years away, the light arriving tonight set out when the Abbasid caliphates were at their cultural peak and Charlemagne had just died. More than a thousand years of silent travel for the eye to brush it for an instant, anonymous between the paws of the celestial dog.
