Its story
Unnamed within Centaurus, this A-type white star sent its light 214 years ago. It set off around 1812, as Napoleon launched his disastrous campaign in Russia. Hotter and brighter than the Sun, it spins with the typical swiftness of A-types, slightly flattening its poles. A discreet white stone set into a southern constellation rich in giants, doubles and secrets.
