Variable starIts story
In Auriga pulses a colossally luminous white variable, set at a distance so vast that its light has crossed entire eras before arriving. A class-A sun, hotter than ours, it modulates its brightness with an intimate heartbeat that astronomy is learning to read like a code. It shines above the winter constellations as a pulsating beacon in the deep reaches of the sky.
