Its story

In the starry mantle of Andromeda, the chained princess of the northern sky, shines a white type A star, hotter and more luminous than the Sun. Its light began its journey some 283 years ago, when Bach composed his final passions and the Enlightenment lit the salons of Paris. Each photon brushing the eye today is an aged message from that age of reason —a quiet flame hung among the princess's mythological chains.
