Its story

Gemini are the twins Castor and Pollux, the two bright stars that give the sign its name. Far from them, within the body of the constellation, lives this orange giant six hundred and fifty-six light-years away. Its light set out around 1369, when Tamerlane was beginning his conquest campaigns in Central Asia. K-type, the colour of a fire going out, brightness barely enough to be perceived without instruments.
