Its story
In Perseus, the hero who holds Medusa's severed head in the sky, shines a yellow giant of golden tone. Its light set out around 1592, when William Shakespeare was beginning to stage his earliest plays in the Elizabethan theatres of London. Older and more swollen than the Sun, it radiates that serene luminosity of stars approaching their last great transformations.
