Its story
Within the coils of the circumpolar Dragon burns an orange class K star, calmer and cooler than the Sun. Its light slipped free 453 years ago: at that time Philip II was building El Escorial and oceans were crossed by wooden galleons. That orange ember has traveled through entire centuries to reach the northern telescopes now.
