Tianyi

Its story

Tianyi is an orange giant in Draco, its name taken from classical Chinese astronomy: «Tian Yi» designated a celestial deity linked to the imperial court of the sky. At 741 light-years, it shines right at the edge of what the unaided eye can distinguish under a truly dark sky. It is a quiet reminder of how many stars with proper names remain hidden from those who watch from a lit city.
