Its story
In Centaurus shines a K-type star, orange and dilated, cooler than the Sun yet also far larger. Its light began its journey more than nine hundred years ago, deep in the Middle Ages, when Romanesque cathedrals were rising in Burgundy and Persian astronomers were refining planetary tables in Isfahan. It arrives now with the calm of one who has crossed a millennium.
