Its story
In Virgo, that vast maiden occupying half a celestial band, a yellow G-class sun shines 218.5 light-years away, a distant cousin of our own. Though they share a spectral family, the distance forces the light to travel more than two centuries: tonight's beam left while Goya was painting his Black Paintings at the Quinta del Sordo, on the outskirts of Madrid.
