Its story
In the Sails of the ancient Argo shines an orange class K star at 642.1 light years. Its light left around 1384, the year Geoffrey Chaucer was working on his «Canterbury Tales», cementing literary English. A surface cooler than the solar one, with a soft copper tone, blinking over the mythological sails of the southern ship with the calm of a brazier dying out.
