Variable starIts story
Tucana is one of the newer constellations, drawn by European navigators while charting the southern sky. There flickers a variable white class A star, with a brightness that refuses to stay still. Its light took 386 years to arrive: it began the journey when Descartes published the Discourse on the Method and proposed doubting everything, even the sky. This light needed no question of its own existence to make it.
