Its story
Once again in Antlia shines, this time, a more distant white star. Its light began its journey 432 years ago, when Pope Gregory XIII was reforming the calendar we still use and Tycho Brahe was measuring stars by naked eye from his Danish island. Hotter than the Sun and of a clear white, it recalls the edge of a well-polished sword in dim light, a brightness without ornament.
