Its story
In the broad body of Centaurus shines a white A-class star, whose light has been crossing space for some 619 years, when the Christian kingdoms of Iberia were pushing their frontiers in the late Middle Ages. A-class stars are young and clean, with very hot surfaces and spectra where hydrogen lines carve deep dark furrows.
