Its story
On the keel of the celestial ship, Carina, shines an orange giant some 1032 light-years away. Its ray left the star around the year 994, when Iberia lived under Almanzor's shadow and monks copied manuscripts by beeswax candles. Its cool, dilated atmosphere glows with a warm hue that, set beside the Sun, would feel like an endless dusk.
