Its story
On the legs of the Centaur gleams an orange K-type star, cooler and more serene than the Sun. Its 413 light-years began their journey when Cervantes was correcting the proofs of the second part of Don Quixote and the modern novel was finishing taking shape. Its amber glow travels like a loose page, crossing space without ever losing its origin.
