Highly luminous starIts story
At 1,717 light-years away, deep in Cassiopeia, burns a luminous orange giant. Her light departed in the 4th century: Rome had not yet fallen, and the first scribe-monks were inking manuscripts in newly founded abbeys. A luminous K means an old, swollen star, far larger than the Sun —the quiet ending of a body that has already given its best.
