Its story
In the springtime Leo throbs an orange K-type star about 579 light-years away. Its light began its voyage around 1447, while the workshops of Mainz were refining the movable type that would soon birth Gutenberg's press. Cooler than the Sun, it shines with the amber tone of stars that have already walked far.
