Cool red starIts story
A deep red M-class star in Lynx, 1,173 light-years away: a cool giant whose light comes from the reddest side of the visible spectrum. The light arriving tonight set out around the year 853, in the heart of China's Tang dynasty, when polychrome ceramics and woodblock printing already traveled the Silk Road. Its sustained red contrasts against the almost empty sky of the lynx.
