Variable star

Its story

An orange, variable star in Cetus, the cosmic whale. Its light set off 753 years ago, during the heyday of Gothic cathedrals and the founding of the first European universities. A K-class star, its brightness changes subtly —a sign of inner processes reshaping its atmosphere— and its warm tone recalls the orange glow of seaside dawns.
