Nearby starIts story
Almost a neighbour of ours, 41.6 light-years away in Virgo, shines an orange K-type star whose light set out around 1984, when the fall of the wall between East and West was still to come and the Cold War was living its last tense decade. Cooler and more modest than the Sun, its calm atmosphere harbours hints of planets and an almost familiar warm tone.
