Its story
On the Lion's flank, a warm K-class star shines at 197 light years — a relatively close neighbour within our own galactic arm. The light now crossing the European spring took leave around 1811, during the Peninsular War, when the Cortes of Cádiz were drafting their Constitution. Orange colour, no pulsing: a silent companion to Regulus, far from the spotlight.
