Its story
Corvus, the raven who betrayed the sun god, holds this orange star 270 light-years away. Her light departed around 1756, while Mozart was a child in Salzburg and the Seven Years' War was setting Europe alight. An uneventful K, the colour of a dry leaf when one catches her with the naked eye on a clear southern night.
