Its story

Between the eternal twins shines a yellow sun, a G-type star slightly larger than ours whose light began its journey 302 years ago. When it set out, Newton was still calculating planetary motions and modern celestial mechanics was taking its first steps. Its balanced, warm golden tone seems strung between the shoulders of Castor and Pollux like a soft candle set to watch over the symmetry of their ancient brotherhood.
