Its story
It is a golden G-type star in Lupus, a chromatic sibling of the Sun in a sober southern constellation. Its light took some 429 years to arrive: it set out around 1597, when Galileo was teaching mathematics in Padua and Shakespeare was premiering The Merchant of Venice. In Lupus, made of lights that do not boast, this star keeps a patient yellow pulse, far from the constellations of heavy visual traffic.
