Its story
In Perseus shines an F-type star, yellow-white and quietly hotter than the Sun. Its light set out at the close of the nineteenth century, when the Lumière brothers projected their first films in Paris and Tesla dreamed of alternating currents that would light the world. It traversed one hundred and thirty-six years to settle —faithful— upon the night that now receives it.
