Its story

Also in Draco, but in a warmer key, rests an orange K-type star about 271 light-years away. Its light began traveling around 1755, the year Lisbon was leveled by the great earthquake and Enlightenment Europe first measured the planet's inner fury. Cooler than the Sun, it shines with a coppery pulse, almost like an old lamp submerged in dark oil.
