Its story

In Norma, the small constellation of the carpenter's square, it shines with the warm yellow tone of class G stars, the family to which our Sun belongs. Its light arrived after a journey of nearly 943 years: when it set out, the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa was being fought on the Iberian peninsula, an encounter that would shift the balance between Christians and Almohads. It is like gazing at another Sun set at an immense distance, dimmed by the gulf, but essentially similar to the one that lights our days.
