Its story

In Sagittarius, far from the bustle of the galactic centre, shines a white type-A star, hotter than the Sun and of very clear light. Its glow crossed 167 years: it set off in 1858, the same year Donati s comet swept across European skies and became the most photographed comet of its century. A white blade in the archer s bow, almost a luminous breath.
