Variable star

Its story

In Andromeda, beside the thread of our sister galaxy, a variable orange K-type star pulses about 617 light-years away. Its light departed around 1409, while Oxford debated Wycliffe's manuscripts and Europe still awaited the Renaissance. Its brightness shifts gently, like a distant lamp that breathes through the night.
