Lam
Variable starIts story
Lambda Aquarii is a cool red giant of type M, set some 385 light-years away, whose brightness shifts slowly: it belongs to the family of semiregular variables, those ageing suns that breathe over the course of months. It marks one of the Water Bearer's shoulders and stands in the part of the sky where the ancients saw Aquarius' symbolic stream flowing southward.
