Variable starIts story
In Eridanus, the long celestial river, a yellow G-type variable star beats at about 278 light-years. Its light set out around 1748, as Linnaeus was finishing the foundations of the modern classification of living beings. It shares the Sun s spectral type, but its brightness shifts subtly over time, a reminder that even quiet stars carry an inner pulse in perpetual motion.
