Chamukuy

Variable starIts story
Chamukuy bears a Yucatec Maya name for a small songbird, formally assigned to this star in 2017 by the International Astronomical Union. It belongs to the Hyades cluster, the daughters of Atlas Greek myth turned into rain. A variable white A-class star about 150 light-years away, set right in the face of the celestial bull, its light shifts subtly over time, like a breath held and released.
