Its story
Above the scales of Libra shines an orange giant whose warm red speaks of a life already well advanced. Its light set out around 1687, the same year Newton published the Principia and rewrote the laws that govern the entire cosmos. Cooler than the Sun yet far larger, it displays the serene luminosity of stars moving toward their last great transformation.
