Its story

In the Keel of the ancient celestial ship glows a blue star whose light set out when European cartographers were redrawing the world after the first ocean voyages. Four centuries later, its message arrives untouched by time. It is a young sun, several times more massive than ours, with a surface so warm that its brilliance carries electric sapphire undertones. Glancing southward we find it modest among more famous neighbours, announcing itself only by its clean colour and its serene silence.
