Its story
In Lyra beats a yellow star of type G, a spiritual twin of the Sun and a touch older. Its light has been on the road for 267 years: it left around 1758, just after Halley s death, as his comet returned punctually to its predicted appointment and proved him posthumously right. A small sun hidden among the chords of the harp, easy to overlook and therefore unforgettable.
