Cool red starIts story
In Cepheus, the mythical Ethiopian king, burns a red M-type giant whose light set out around 1077, when Gregory VII and Henry IV faced each other at Canossa. Far cooler than the Sun yet hundreds of times more luminous, it shows the deep red of stars approaching the end of their existence. Its dense, warm glow arrives after nearly a thousand years of silent travel.
