Cool red starIts story
46 Leonis is an M-type red giant 694 light-years away, a slow ember inside the body of the Lion. Its surface, far cooler than the Sun's, radiates in reddish tones betraying an aged and immense star. It shares the sky with the region where, every November, the Leonids seem to spring —debris from comet Tempel-Tuttle.
