Its story
Back in Hydra, now near the border with Canis Minor, this K-class orange shines at four hundred and forty-six light-years. Its light set out around 1580, the year Francis Drake completed the first English circumnavigation of the globe aboard the Golden Hind. Cooler than the Sun yet presumably wider, the K-class lends it that warm tone the human eye reads as ancient.
