Cool red starIts story
17 Aquarii is an M-type red giant about 731 light-years away, set in the stream of the Water Bearer. Its cold, enormous atmosphere lends it a deep ruddy tone, the trademark of suns nearing the end of stable life. It glows in a region of sky tied to water —close to the Fishes and the Southern Fish— where ancient mythology pictured celestial channels and fountains.
