Its story

κ Arietis is a white A-type star in the body of the Ram, an ancient zodiacal figure that opens the cycle of signs. Its crisp light —rising from a surface near ten thousand degrees— travels for almost two centuries before reaching our eyes. It shines discreetly in a region of sky where the zodiac moves away from the Milky Way and the firmament grows darker.
