Cool red starIts story
Upon Orion's shoulders glows a red giant some 465 light-years away. The light we see today set out when Suleiman the Magnificent was expanding his empire and Europe was translating Copernicus. With a cool, ruddy surface, this star foreshadows the Sun's fate —when, billions of years from now, it exhausts its hydrogen and swells, painting the sky an orange ember.
