Its story

32 Andromedae shines some 355 light-years away, in the figure of the chained princess of the autumn sky. It is a yellow G-class star —the same spectral family as the Sun— but no longer a youthful dwarf: its atmosphere has swollen to more than ten times the solar diameter. A monumental, aged version of the Sun, seen across three and a half centuries of luminous travel.
