Variable starIts story
In small Vulpecula —the fox of the summer sky— pulses an F-type variable at 1,204 light-years. Its light departed around the year 822, when the Carolingians were founding the first cathedral schools and Latin was again becoming a language of culture after Rome s fall. It pulses, shifts, keeps on: constancy is another form of motion.
