Its story
In Gemini burns an orange star, cold and ancient, the kind that seems to light the world with the patience of a kiln. Its light crossed some 463 years before reaching us: it set out around 1563, when the Council of Trent was closing and Philip II ordered the construction of El Escorial. Cooler than the Sun, it draws a serene fire on the celestial twins.
