Its story
Within Hercules, hero of the twelve labors, burns an orange K-class giant with the warmth of mature stars. Its light reaches us from more than seven hundred and fifty years ago, when the Christian kingdoms were finishing the shape of the Iberian map. Cooler than the Sun yet immeasurably larger, its coppery ember lends weight and character to this constellation of legendary feats.
