Its story
On the keel of Carina shines a yellow-white star, a close cousin of the Sun yet a touch hotter. Its light crossed some 313 years before reaching us: it set out around 1713, when the Peace of Utrecht was signed and Philip V was acknowledged as King of Spain. Its cream tone rests, serene, upon the unfurled sails of the ancient Argo.
