Variable starIts story
14 Aurigae is a white variable star in the Charioteer, about 286 light-years away, set within a multiple system that has long puzzled astronomers with its tangled architecture. The main A-type component pulses gently in brightness on a cycle of just a few hours, a signature trait of Delta Scuti pulsators. It rings like a fine bell in one of the northern corners of the winter sky.
