Its story
In small Antlia, the constellation of the air pump born in the heart of the 18th century, shines a white star of clean, clear light. Its glow began its journey 135 years ago, when Edison was already lighting streets with bulbs and Eiffel was finishing his tower in Paris. Hotter and brighter than the Sun, it recalls a pure mercury lamp, a brilliance hard to look away from.
