Variable starIts story
In the silhouette of Cassiopeia breathes a yellow, variable beacon, a distant sister of the Sun that quietly changes brightness. Its light set out some 232 years ago, around 1794, deep in the French Revolution, when Robespierre fell and the metric system was adopted. It pulses with a soft beat, as if keeping time for the elder stars.
