Its story

In Cepheus —the king chained to the polar sky— burns a yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun. Its light set out eighty-nine years ago, when in 1937 Amelia Earhart vanished over the Pacific and the world held its breath beside the radio. That same flicker, faithful to its rhythm, arrives now —untouched— to whoever turns their gaze northward.
