Its story
Along the curves of Serpens, the serpent, shines an orange K-type star about 120 light-years away. Its light set out around 1906, the year San Francisco was leveled by an earthquake and modern seismographs were born in its shadow. Cooler than the Sun, its coppery tone recalls old gold, beating slowly among the stellar scales.
