Its story
Within the long body of Hydra, the most extensive constellation in the sky, an orange dwarf burns at 452 light-years. Its light left during the Council of Trent, when the Catholic Church was reorganising its doctrine in the face of advancing Protestantism and Europe was redrawing its religious maps.
