Its story
In the corner of Cepheus, the Ethiopian king who embraces the north pole, shines this orange K-class star 580 light-years away. When its light began its journey, Gutenberg was about to print his Bible and the Florentine Renaissance was readying Botticelli. A patient flame that crossed oceans, printing presses and scientific revolutions to arrive on time tonight.
