Its story

It shines in Aquarius with the soft gold of a G-type star, the Sun s colour carried to another cosmic latitude. Its light took just over 418 years to arrive: it set out when Cervantes was already at rest and the Dutch East India Company was weaving the first global trade routes. Aquarius is a zodiacal constellation of faint lines and very ancient memory, tied to the water-bearer. Here, this star keeps a serene pulse.
