Its story
An orange flame hangs over the figures of Sagittarius, cool and steady beside our own Sun. Its light set out around 366 years ago, when Newton was publishing the Principia in London and reordering the heavens with three laws. Cooler than our star yet swollen and amber-bright, it joins the file of giants that line the road toward the galactic centre.
