Cool red starIts story
Within the burning heart of Carina watches a red M-type giant, cool on the surface yet monumental in scale, easily eclipsing the Sun's volume. Its 646 light-years were born while Luther was nailing his theses to Wittenberg and the West began fragmenting into rival confessions. Its orange ember reaches us serenely, indifferent to those human schisms so tiny on its scale.
