Its story
Another serene orange in Puppis, some 225 light-years away, lodged between the timbers of the sky's ancient ship. Its light set off when the United States was signing its independence and Lavoisier was dismantling the phlogiston theory in his Parisian laboratory. Two centuries later, it remains a warm ember in the middle of the stern.
