Its story
In the wing of the small Crow shines a yellow type-G star, a far-off sister of the Sun with the same warm colour. Its light set out 161 years ago, when Jules Verne's «From the Earth to the Moon» was being published and human imagination was already dreaming of leaving the planet. It is a serene flame of a distant Sun that arrives just in time to light up our own modern nights.
