Cool red starIts story
On the neck of Pegasus glows an aged M-type red giant 681 light-years away. Its light began its journey around 1345, in the years immediately before the Black Death reached Europe. Much cooler than the Sun and enormously bloated by age, it is a reddish ember that seems to burn slowly along the flank of the winged horse.
