Variable starIts story
She shines in the shoulder of Perseus, set within the field where the Alpha Persei association scatters its young blue giants. Designated δ Persei, she is a hot B-type star with subtle luminosity pulses —a faint heartbeat— that betray the complexity of her atmosphere. Her light set out more than five centuries ago, when oceans were still being charted.
