Cool red starIts story
A red giant in Taurus at 2,330 light-years —one of the farthest in this batch. Its light departed around 296 BCE, when Euclid was drafting the «Elements» in Alexandria and founding geometry as a discipline. While humans were discovering the infinite in the abstract, this point was crossing it in the concrete.
