Its story

In Sagittarius, the constellation that points its arrow toward the very heart of the Milky Way, beats a blue B-type star, far hotter and more massive than the Sun. Its light needs around 492 years to cross the void: what we receive today departed about 1534, when Pizarro was founding Cuzco as the capital of the new viceroyalty and the Inca empire was collapsing under the weight of Castile. The star keeps burning, indifferent to human borders.
