Its story
In Puppis, the stern of the southern ship, burns this orange star 743 light-years away. Her light broke free when Dante was finishing the «Commedia» and Florence was inventing the Italian tongue. K stars like this lead long lives, with calm atmospheres and a coppery glow that astronomers simply call autumnal.
