Variable starIts story
Discreet in Lynx, that constellation invented to fill an almost empty patch of sky, pulses a white class A variable. Its brightness is not steady: it rises and falls with a breath of its own. The light arriving now left 244 years ago, when the United States was signing its declaration of independence and a new world was rising on the other side of the Atlantic.
