Its story

In Leo, the zodiacal sign linked to summer, shines an orange star of warm, measured light. Its glow began its journey 491 years ago, when Magellan and Elcano were completing the first circumnavigation and Charles V was ruling an empire where the sun never set. Cooler than our star and honey-toned, it evokes tea freshly poured on a slow afternoon, a light that lets itself be watched without haste.
