Its story
In Cancer, the modest zodiacal constellation of the crab, lives this orange giant 406 light-years away. Its light came loose around 1619, just as Johannes Kepler was publishing his third law of planetary motion and decoding the geometric rhythm of the heavens. A K-class star traversing four centuries to confirm, to the eye, that silent harmony.
