Its story
In the small constellation of the Telescope shines at 498 light years an orange class K star. Its light left around 1528, when Castiglione was publishing in Venice «The Book of the Courtier», the manual of the new humanist ideal of the Renaissance. A temperate star, amber-toned, cooler than the Sun yet with a visual warmth that invites the gaze to linger.
