Its story

In Pisces, the two celestial fish bound by a cosmic ribbon, pulses a red M-type giant some 532 light-years away. Its light set out around 1490, when Leonardo da Vinci was designing his flying machines and Gutenberg's press was beginning to spread knowledge across Europe. Far cooler than the Sun yet immense, its crimson glow is like an ancient lantern hanging from the invisible threads that bind the zodiacal fish.
