Its story
In Monoceros, the silent figure of the unicorn that crosses the southern winter, shines an orange star of considerable size. Its light set out around 1333, when the Black Death had not yet left the Asian steppes and Europe was still medieval. Cooler and far larger than the Sun, it leans into its last mature age, golden and powerful.
