Variable starIts story
64 Eridani is an F-class variable star roughly 290 light-years away, immersed in the long celestial channel of the river Eridanus. Its brightness does not stay still: it pulses gently over time, a faint heartbeat that betrays physical changes in its atmosphere. The light reaching us tonight left in the late eighteenth century, when the first hot-air balloons were rising over Europe.
