hip-64820
Highly luminous starIts story
In the small southern Musca shines an orange star whose light crossed 1,194.9 years to reach us: it left around the year 831, when the Christian kingdoms of northern Iberia were waging their first skirmishes in La Rioja. It is a luminous class K star —an orange giant whose energy comfortably exceeds that of the Sun despite its warm, deceptively gentle hue.
