Highly luminous starIts story
At 2104 light-years in Cepheus, this highly luminous orange giant pours into space hundreds —perhaps thousands— of times the Sun's energy. Its light set out when the Romans were marching through the Gauls under Caesar, and Latin was becoming, unknowingly, the mother tongue of half a continent for the centuries to come.
