Its story

It dwells in Musca, a small, understated constellation at the southern edge of the sky, imagined by 16th-century navigators. A yellow G-type star, similar to the Sun in colour but far more luminous, its light set out some 575 years ago, just as Johannes Gutenberg was about to print his famous Bible and transform the spread of knowledge across Europe. A golden sun in the southernmost corner of the Milky Way.
