Its story
It pulses in Cetus with the restful amber of a K-type star. Its light took almost 296 years to arrive: it set out at the start of the eighteenth century, when Vivaldi was publishing The Four Seasons and Europe was discovering keyboards tuned for every taste. Cetus is a vast constellation, tied to the sea-monster of Andromeda s tale, made mostly of medium lights. Within its bulk, this star takes a calm and warm position.
