Its story

In Norma, the small, discreet constellation of the carpenter's square, it burns with the intense blue of class B stars. Its glow crossed 1,342 years before arriving: when it set out, Charlemagne had just been crowned emperor in Rome and Europe was beginning to organise itself around the Holy Roman Empire. It is a young, very hot sun, whose surface comfortably exceeds 10,000 degrees, and which lives fast under the typical pattern of massive stars.
