Its story
This orange light left Aquila around the year 1333, when the Mediterranean was being plied by the galleys of Aragon and Genoa, and Petrarch was beginning to forge European humanism. It is a K-type star, cooler than the Sun and tinted with old gold. The Eagle flies over the celestial equator led by Altair, one of the nearest and most luminous stars of the summer sky.
