Its story
Ursa Major, the great bear that never sets in northern skies, holds this orange star 503 light-years away. Her light departed when Luther was nailing his theses to Wittenberg and Europe was tearing itself in two over how to believe. K stars like this burn cool, yet their coppery light crosses entire centuries without losing its hue.
