Variable starIts story
An old red variable suspended in the bowl of Ursa Major, some 752 light-years away. Its light began its journey when Marco Polo was returning to Venice from the court of Kublai Khan and Europe was starting to read tales of the East. It pulses slowly, as if measuring the night with a metronome weary of breathing.
