Its story
Puppis —the stern of the old celestial ship— harbours this orange K-type star, some three hundred light years away. Its glow set out toward Earth when the astronomers at Louis XIV s court were first charting the southern sky with precision instruments. It still carries that silent late-seventeenth-century impulse.
