Its story

In Sagittarius, the archer's constellation aimed at the very heart of the Milky Way, it shines with the orange tone of class K stars. Its light arrived after a journey of 344 years: when it set out, Newton was presenting his Principia in England and modern astronomy was beginning to take the mathematical shape we now know. It is a stable star, cooler than the Sun, faithful to its golden glow among the millions of stars that crowd the heart of our galaxy.
