Its story
In the golden thickness of Sagittarius, a serene K-type orange tempers the sky some 291 light-years out. Its light —set free when Newton published his «Principia» and Europe began to grasp gravity as mathematical order— now arrives as a warm ember to the observer's eye. Discreet and constant, it shines without fanfare.
