Its story
Camelopardalis, the celestial giraffe, is one of the least populated constellations of the northern hemisphere: here, an orange giant burns 448 light-years away. Its light departed around 1577, the year Tycho Brahe observed a comet and proved it crossed the celestial spheres —the beginning of the end of the Aristotelian cosmos.
