Its story
In Centaurus shines a yellow star kindred to the Sun, only somewhat older and a touch more swollen. Its light set out in 1933, when the Great Depression was shaking the democracies and Europe was beginning to darken. We see it now as it was then: a distant sun of golden tone, serene, suspended between two epochs and the present night.
