Its story
In the Great Bear gleams a blue-white A-type star, hotter and more luminous than the Sun. Its 216 light-years set out in the era when Beethoven was premiering his Third Symphony — the Eroica — in Vienna, redefining what music could express. Its light, contemporary with that sonic revolution, now traverses the void with the same orchestral candor.
