Its story
Sagittarius offers this orange giant, a serene K-type star 505 light-years away. Its light came loose around 1521, just as the Magellan-Elcano expedition was completing the first circumnavigation of the planet. Five centuries of voyage for a glow that reaches the eye like a final logbook, archived in the night.
