Its story
Orange along the long curves of Draco the Dragon, this K giant reaches us from 879 light-years. Its light set off around 1147, when the Almohads were crossing the Strait of Gibraltar and al-Andalus was entering a new political phase. A tiny point in the sky —a distant witness to an era it will never tell.
