Its story
Yellow and Sun-like, this G-star hides in Monoceros, the invisible unicorn galloping between Orion and Canis Major. Its light has been on its way for 838 years: it set out around 1188, just after Saladin had retaken Jerusalem and half of Europe was preparing for yet another crusade under other skies.
