Highly luminous star

Its story

58 Persei glows within the Hero at almost 800 light-years, a yellow giant whose warm light has been traveling since before the Renaissance. Its G class echoes the Sun, but swollen and luminous —a star that has long left its stable youth behind. When you look at it, your gaze crosses galaxies and invisible dust to reach it. One of the many embers along Perseus' eastern flank.
