Its story

In the silhouette of the hunter Orion shines a yellow type-G star, a slightly more distant sister of the Sun, with the same warm and golden tone. Its light set out 469 years ago, when Cervantes was still a young soldier and decades were yet to pass before he would write «Don Quixote». It has crossed the silence while Spanish was becoming the tongue of many worlds, arriving golden and ancient at our night.
