Ainalrami

Its story

Ainalrami is a luminous orange giant in Sagittarius, its name drawn from the Arabic «ʿayn al-rāmī», «the eye of the archer». At 1,125 light-years, its coppery light travels a long millennium before reaching us, departing from a region of the sky that points directly toward the radiant heart of the Milky Way. It belongs, then, to that golden backdrop where thousands of stars and clouds of galactic dust crowd together.
