Its story
In Centaurus shines at 130.8 light years a yellow class G star, a close cousin of the Sun on the cosmic scale. Its light set out around 1895, the same year Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays in Würzburg and opened the door to a new era of physics. A discreet star, of familiar golden tone, practically the solar neighbourhood in the eyes of the cosmos.
