Sig

Its story

Sigma Centauri is a blue-white star, young and hot, burning on the flank of the Centaur at more than four hundred light-years from us. Its surface exceeds ten thousand degrees, a temperature that gives it a cold cobalt hue perceptible even to the naked eye on a dark night. The light now reaching Earth set out when the Italian Renaissance was bearing its first fruits and Florence was filling its workshops with painters and engineers.
