Its story
In Ara, the altar of the southern sky, an orange K-class sun shines 326.2 light-years away. Its coppery hue recalls an aged Sun, a future version of our own star. The light now spilling into observatories set out when Bach was dying in Leipzig with The Art of Fugue unfinished, and Baroque music closed an unrepeatable age along with him.
