Its story
90 Herculis is a K-type orange giant 354 light-years away, in a constellation honouring the Greek hero of the twelve labours. The region is crossed by the solar apex, the point in the sky toward which the Sun travels along its galactic orbit at about 20 km per second. Its coppery light departed while Louis XIV still reigned in France.
