Its story

Only 139 light-years away, in the mythic Orion, shines a white A-type star. Its light set out when Europe was opening the twentieth century and the Lumière brothers were astonishing the world with the first moving pictures. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it radiates a pure white that seems to converse with the hunter's great stars. In winter, when Orion hangs from the firmament, its discreet glow accompanies the majesty of the celestial tale.
