Variable star

Its story

A white variable on the mythic waters of Puppis, around 757 light-years away. The light wavering before the detector tonight left when Marco Polo was crossing the Silk Road and Venice was weaving its trading alliances with the East. Its brightness shifts slowly, like a distant beacon whose beam never quite reaches the shore.
