Variable starIts story
Perseus, the hero who beheaded Medusa, holds this yellow G-class variable 439 light-years away. Its brightness shifts with a slow pulse, as if hesitating between two states. The light arriving tonight set out when Galileo had just died and the first European scientific academies were beginning to draft their charters. A hesitant sun pinned to the hero s shield.
