Its story
Patient orange in Hercules, 324 light years away. The light brushing the summer sky tonight took leave around 1701, while Bach in his adolescence was beginning to copy scores by moonlight. A K-class star without surprises: steady brightness, warm colour, no known companion — only itself, in its corner of the celestial hero.
