Its story
In zodiacal Leo, a clear-cut figure of the spring sky, kindles an orange K-type giant at 355 light-years. Its coppery light set out around 1671, when Cassini was observing Saturn's rings in detail from Paris and Europe was entering the age of the telescope. Cooler than the Sun yet noticeably larger, it glows with the autumnal amber of evolved stars.
