Variable starIts story
In Cassiopeia pulses a variable blue star some 1,001 light-years away. Its light set out around the year 1025, during the rise of European Romanesque art and the great medieval pilgrimages. Hot and blue-white, its brightness is not entirely steady: it throbs in subtle variations, like a distant beacon reminding us that even the most vigorous stars carry their own pulse.
