Its story

In Draco, the celestial serpent coiling between the two Bears, shines an orange K-class giant whose light set out around 1670, during the reign of the Sun King and Newton's youth. Cooler than the Sun yet swollen to several dozen solar radii, it radiates a warm, dark-honey glow. It silently accompanies Draco's long winding course —a constellation many look at without truly seeing— and rewards with jewels those who learn its curves.
