Its story

In the vast waters of Hydra shines a yellow sun, a G-type star bulkier than ours whose light crossed 320 years of night to reach us. When it set out, the first Enlightenment encyclopedias were barely being imagined in Parisian salons. At that distance, its glow winds along the endless silhouette of the water serpent, a soft candle lost among the dark scales of the southern sky.
