Variable starIts story
A red variable on the flank of Gemini, 805 light-years away. M-type stars at this distance and variability tend to be pulsating giants —bloated monsters changing size like a cosmic lung. Its light left when Marco Polo was returning from China and publishing in Genoa the account that would open the European imagination to the East.
