Its story

A blue flame in the heart of Centaurus, the kind that burns short but fierce: B-class spectrum, far hotter and more massive than the Sun. Its light departed around the 7th century, when the Visigothic kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula were drafting the Liber Iudiciorum. Fourteen centuries later, that blue glow finally crosses our southern sky, indifferent to an empire long fallen.
