Its story
In Virgo, one of the largest constellations of the zodiac, a white A-class sun shines 258.7 light-years away. Hotter than the Sun, its light departed when Mozart was premiering The Marriage of Figaro in Prague and the European Enlightenment believed it had found, in reason and music, the clear road toward modernity. Two and a half centuries of voyage to reach us.
