Its story
In Carina, the ancient Keel of the Argo Navis, glows an orange K-type star. Its light set off 362 years ago: it left in 1663, just as Robert Hooke had published Micrographia, the first atlas of the invisible world seen through the microscope. Cooler than the Sun, it rests in the celestial hull where Jason and the Argonauts once sailed.
