Its story
Aries, the ram of the golden fleece, holds this orange ember 391 light-years away. When its light broke free from its stellar source, the Spanish conquistadors were entering Tenochtitlán and Magellan had just crossed the strait that would bear his name. A warm, serene flame fastened to the first sign of the zodiac, so modest no astronomer ever granted it a Greek letter.
