Its story

Camelopardalis is the giraffe of the northern sky, a faint constellation where only the patient find treasures like this orange giant. The light the camera records now left the star around 1146, when Bernard of Clairvaux was preaching the Second Crusade at Vézelay. K-type, the colour of glowing copper, eight hundred and seventy-nine years of travel for a point that does not even close a recognisable mythological figure.
