Its story

In the discreet constellation of the Lynx, the one that demands a sharp eye to be detected, shines an orange type-K star, cooler than the Sun and of a golden-coppery hue. Its light set out 244 years ago, when the independence of the United States was being signed and the world witnessed the birth of a new form of government. It has travelled while empires changed hands and maps were redrawn twice over.
