Its story
In Pictor, the painter's easel of the southern modern sky, a yellow G-class star burns with familiar warmth. Its light began its journey almost twelve hundred years ago, when Charlemagne was crowned emperor and Europe was taking its first steps toward a new order. A distant kin of the Sun, it shines with the quiet patience of stars that have already learned to last.
