Its story

It inhabits Cancer, a zodiacal constellation famous for its Beehive Cluster. A K-type star with an orange hue, the colour of tempered amber, lying about 633 light-years away. Its light set out around 1392, when the Christian Iberian kingdoms and the Aragonese crown were grappling with plague and almogàvers. In Cancer, made of sober lights, this star keeps a quiet chromatic temperature, away from the bright cluster.
