Its story
An orange ember in Cetus, the celestial whale winding beneath Pisces. The light it emits today has been crossing space for 355 years —it left around 1671, when Cassini first observed Iapetus's shadow on Saturn. A quiet K giant, cool in colour, in a corner of the sky where bright stars are scarce.
