hip-35210
Highly luminous starIts story
1,418 light-years out into Canis Major: the light flickering tonight set off when the Byzantine Empire still held its ground and Venice was dispatching its first trading doges across the Adriatic. A luminous K giant, warm and old, an orange furnace that stands apart from the blue glare of Sirius, its dazzling neighbour.
