Its story

In Monoceros, the quiet constellation of the Unicorn, burns an orange giant whose light began its journey around 1175, in the height of the Gothic cathedral age. Its hue is that of a slow flame —cooler than the Sun yet hundreds of times more luminous. It crossed nearly nine centuries to show us a glow that already belonged to the sky while Notre-Dame was still rising.
