Its story
The Unicorn, Monoceros, harbours this white star whose light crosses more than two hundred light-years to reach us. It set out around 1818, when Mary Shelley had just published Frankenstein and Europe was still redrawing borders after Waterloo. That wave, indifferent to treaties and novels, has travelled in an almost straight line through the dark to end here, now.
