Variable starIts story
Orange and pulsing in the southern reach of Carina, this K-type giant breathes in slow cycles only telescopes can trace. Its light has been crossing the void for 657 years —it set out when Portuguese sailors first rounded the Cape of Good Hope— and continues to arrive, indifferent to the continent it revealed.
