Variable starIts story
2,764 light-years separate us from this orange variable in Cassiopeia, the vain queen on the celestial throne. Its light departed around 738 BC, in the days when Rome was being founded according to tradition. A pulsing K giant, a slow beacon whose brightness shifts on scales that can only be followed across years.
