Its story

Upon the mighty arm of Hercules gleams a white A-type star. Its light departed two hundred and eighty-six years ago, when Linnaeus was publishing the «Systema Naturae» and nature was being ordered into genera and species. Hotter than the Sun, it pours a firm, clean white, like a scalpel of light upon an open herbarium. To see it is to lean over the age when humankind dared to give a name, one by one, to all that lives.
