Its story
In Orion, winter's most recognisable constellation, shines a yellow beacon, a distant sister of the Sun. Its light crossed some 307 years before reaching us: it set out around 1719, when Daniel Defoe published Robinson Crusoe and Tsar Peter I was building up Saint Petersburg. Sister to the Sun, golden and serene, she discreetly completes the hunter's embroidery.
