Its story

Carina once more, the keel of ancient Argo. An orange giant 418 light-years away whose light has been travelling since 1608, the year Hans Lippershey patented the first telescope in the Netherlands —an invention that, one year later, would let Galileo point it at the sky. This K ember journeys from the very moment humanity was given new eyes.
