Cool red starIts story
A cool red giant in Auriga, the charioteer. Its light has been crossing the galaxy for 746 years: it set off when Dante Alighieri was conceiving the Divine Comedy and the Black Death had not yet reached Europe. An M-class star, dilated and reddish, it offers the deep glow of an object that has entered its mature age, far more voluminous than the Sun.
