Its story
In Taurus, beside the celestial Bull, shines a yellow-white star of type F, somewhat hotter and quicker than the Sun. Its light set out only 115 years ago: it left in 1910, the same year Halley s Comet returned to perihelion and the whole planet looked up. A discreet flame among the Hyades, written in the same ink as that passage of the comet.
