Its story
544 light-years toward Carina: tonight's light set out around 1482, just as Leonardo da Vinci entered the service of Ludovico Sforza in Milan. A K-type orange giant, one of the many evolved stars populating the keel of the old ship Argo —stars only the southern hemisphere lets us properly behold.
