Its story

20 Monocerotis is a K-type orange star in the Unicorn, a modern constellation drawn in the seventeenth century across an apparently empty patch of winter sky beside Orion and Canis Major. At around 203 light-years, it is comparatively close for this series. Its light has been on its way since the years when Goya was already painting outside Madrid —two centuries exactly, suspended in space.
