Its story
A white A-class star in Centaurus, 164 light-years away. Its light began the journey around 1862, when Maxwell was formulating electromagnetic theory and Hugo finished «Les Misérables» in his Guernsey exile. Faint to the naked eye yet coherent and steady, one of those presences a trained eye always finds in the same place.
