Its story

In Capricorn, just 79 light years away, shines a yellow G-class star very similar in colour to the Sun. The light crossing the courtyard tonight began its journey around 1946, just as the first electronic computers like ENIAC were being built. A close galactic neighbour: one of those stars that, seen from an as-yet-undiscovered world, might look much like an earthly sunrise.
