Its story

In Ursa Major, only sixty light-years away, shines a G-type yellow star much like the Sun. The light now crossing our telescopes departed around 1966, when the Venera 3 probe became the first human object to reach another planet. It is an astronomical neighbour, a familiar hearth repeated in the dark: the same chemistry, the same temperate hue, another yellow star pulsing quietly.
