Its story

In the very long body of the serpent Hydra shines an orange type-K star, cooler than the Sun, with the warm hue of a candle seen from afar. Its light set out almost 900 years ago, when master builders were raising the first Gothic cathedrals in France and the stone sky was filling with stained glass. It has travelled while the centuries changed creed and monarch, arriving today with the same serenity as then.
