Its story

In the hunter Orion, the most recognizable constellation of the northern winter, gleams a blue-white A-type star, hotter and more luminous than the Sun. Its 253 light-years were born while a child prodigy named Mozart was touring the European courts, astonishing kings and bishops with his precocious music. Its light crosses space with an almost melodic cleanness, unscathed by the weight of centuries.
