Its story
27 Scorpii is a late orange giant suspended in the scorpion's sting at 948 light-years. Its light has been crossing the void for nearly a millennium — it set out as the first Romanesque cathedrals were still being raised. K-type, the colour of mature embers, magnitude 5.48: the scorpion bears it like a chip of amber between its claws.
