Variable starIts story
It shines in Cygnus, the great celestial swan flying through the Milky Way with outstretched wings. A variable F-type star, white-yellow, whose brightness shifts slowly. Its light set out more than 2,160 years ago, in deep Roman antiquity —before Julius Caesar was even born— while the Roman Republic was expanding across the Mediterranean. A distant, almost-forgotten heartbeat, suspended in one of summer's most beautiful constellations.
