Cool red starIts story
80 Ceti is a cool M-class star, deeply red, about 465 light-years away in the outline of the celestial Whale. M stars are the coolest in the stellar catalogue, with mild surfaces and red-dominated light —a rare visual note against the usual white of the field. The light reaching us tonight left in the late sixteenth century, in the age of Tycho Brahe.
