Its story
In the small compass of Pyxis, a remnant of the ancient ship Argo, a yellow G-type star shines 752 light-years away. Its light set out when Marco Polo was returning from Cathay and bringing Europe tales of a fabulous Orient. Like the Sun in colour and temperature, it pulses with the same yellow serenity we know so well. It is a distant companion of our own star, separated from us by seven centuries of travel.
