Its story

In Ursa Major shines a yellow G-type star 475 light-years away. Its light set out when Lope de Vega was premiering plays in the playhouses of Madrid and the Spanish Golden Age was shining. Like the Sun in colour and temperature, it is a kindred spirit, distant in space. Its golden tone blends with the great stars of the constellation, like a discreet note within a familiar melody.
