Its story
1 Puppis holds the first slot in the Stern's catalog, fragment of the ancient ship Argo. At 773 light-years, this orange giant casts a warm glow that crosses the galactic plane before reaching us. Its K class marks a late stage: hydrogen depleted, layers swollen, color leaning toward firewood embers. It is a starting point —number one— in a constellation born from the dismantling of a myth.
