Variable starIts story
In the Sails of the ancient celestial Ship, a white A-class star pulses with the discreet rhythm of variables. Its light crossed space for more than three hundred and thirty years, departing when Newton published his Principia and rewrote the laws of the universe. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, its snowy hue recalls ice set ablaze —cool and fierce at once.
