Its story

Within the claws of the southern Wolf burns a blue type B star, young and far hotter than the Sun. Its light took roughly 428 years to cross the void: it set out when conquistadors still wandered the Andean altiplano and Cervantes was barely a child in Alcalá de Henares. It now arrives as a cold, almost violet flash —a faithful witness of a world in full Renaissance transformation under southern skies.
