Variable starIts story
39 Ceti lives 263 light-years away, along the back of Cetus, the cosmic Whale that swims through the autumn sky. It is a yellow G-type star, giant and variable, its light rippling gently —a swollen, far brighter version of what our own Sun will become when its hydrogen runs out and the outer layers expand. A silent glimpse of the future that awaits stars like ours.
