Its story

In Cetus, the sea monster of the sky, shines an orange star of quiet light. Its light began its journey 471 years ago, when Philip II was inheriting a vast empire and Mediterranean shipyards were preparing the galleys that would one day clash at Lepanto. Cooler than the Sun and warm in tone, it recalls a lantern hung at the prow of a distant ship, visible and lonely in the night.
