Its story
An orange star in the small constellation Pyxis, the navigator's compass. Its light crossed 1055 years before reaching us: when it set off, Iberian Christian kingdoms were advancing southward and Islamic caliphates were cultivating mathematical knowledge in Córdoba and Baghdad. A K-class star, more restful and golden than the Sun, it holds the warm glow of mature stars in the southern sky.
