Its story

Another orange in Lynx, that inhospitable strip of the northern sky. Its photon has crossed 537 years: when it left, Gutenberg had just printed his Bible and the written word was beginning to multiply beyond the monks' workshops. That coppery class K glow arrived after a journey contemporary with the printing press itself.
