Its story

In the southern Crane, the bird that crosses the sky in silence, shines an orange star of unhurried bearing. Its light began its journey 433 years ago, when Galileo was still a young professor in Pisa and Cervantes was preparing what would one day become the Quixote. Cooler than the Sun and warm in tone, it evokes the glow of an oil lamp lit in a winter courtyard.
