Its story
Caught between the waves of Cetus —the cosmic whale once threatened by the hero Perseus— this orange K-class ember waits 622 light-years away. When its light first slipped free, the Burgundian courts were weaving tapestries, Joan of Arc had not yet been born, and Europe s earliest printers were searching for the shape of the press. A patient flame on the flank of the sea monster.
