Its story
An orange star in Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. Its light has been crossing the cosmos for 403 years: when it set off, Galileo was first pointing his telescope at Jupiter and Cervantes was finishing the second part of Don Quixote. A K-class star, cooler than the Sun, it gives off an orange glow reminiscent of embers suspended in the night.
