Its story

Another yellow type-G star, spiritual twin of the Sun, sails through the southern sails 475 light-years away. Its light set out when Leonardo da Vinci was still painting in Milan and all of Europe lived the Renaissance fever, with artists and cartographers redrawing the world. Five centuries later, its yellow glow reaches us like a page being turned, reminding us that within each night another Sun is watching.
