hip-37819
Highly luminous starIts story
An orange ember in the hull of Puppis, stern of the old ship Argo. Its light has crossed the void for 1,132 years —it set out just as the Normans were laying the first stones of Westminster Abbey. It belongs to the rare order of luminous K giants, slow beacons that burn with the calm of a star that has exhausted its hydrogen and now feeds on denser fusions.
