Its story

In Gemini, the constellation of the eternal brothers, burns a red M-type giant 1294 light-years away. Its variable light set out when Charlemagne ruled an empire freshly forged in Europe. Cooler than the Sun, it swells its atmosphere to unimaginable sizes, beating like an enormous, ancient heart. It is the deep voice of the winter sky, a reddish whisper reminding us that stars never fade without first speaking.
