Its story

In the peacock of the southern sky, within Pavo, an orange K-type star shines 295 light-years away. Its light departed when Newton was publishing his principles and rewriting our understanding of gravity. Cooler than the Sun, its amber hue blends calm with antiquity. For southern observers it is a quiet jewel among the constellation's stellar feathers, a warm wink in a corner of the sky often overlooked.
