Its story

In the modest Monoceros, the celestial unicorn, flares a blue B-type star. Its light set out fifteen hundred and twenty-four years ago, when the Western Roman Empire was falling and Europe was entering a long night. Far hotter than the Sun, it casts a sharp, youthful blue, like a torch in an empty hall. Each of its flashes crosses, in silence, the hush of a millennium that redrew the map of the world.
