Variable star

Its story

In Auriga flickers a variable class A star: white, yet with a brightness that pulses, oscillates, never settles. Its light took 413 years to arrive; it set out when Kepler was stating his laws and discovering that planets orbit not in circles but in ellipses. This trembling lamp lands now with very old news from the Charioteer.
