Its story

In the discreet Unicorn, neighbour to dazzling Orion, an orange K-class star pulses at 1,199.3 light-years away. Its coppery light set out when the taifa kingdoms were bleeding out across the Iberian Peninsula and Toledo was beginning to translate forgotten Greek treatises from Arabic into Latin. Almost a millennium of voyage to reach a constellation no famous figure invented.
