Its story
Centaurus offers another of its oranges: K-class at three hundred and fifty-five light-years. Its light set out around 1671, the year Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered Iapetus, the curious moon of Saturn with its two starkly different hemispheres. Cooler than the Sun, presumably wide, this star is one of many sober dots in the austral mantle rarely shown on tourist sky-maps.
