Its story

Within Pegasus shines a yellow G-type star, similar to the Sun in colour and temperature though somewhat more luminous. Its light began its journey almost three and a half centuries ago, when Bach was composing his early cantatas and the European baroque was discovering that mathematics and emotion could vibrate on the same string. After 346 light-years, that familiar golden tone arrives, reminding us that sky and music share the same slow, precise way of measuring time.
