Variable starIts story
In Canes Venatici, the hounds the herdsman walks beneath the Great Bear, a rare red M-class giant pulses with variable brightness 695.5 light-years away. Its reddish hue and slow throb mark an aged, enormous star. The light we see departed in the heart of the Italian Renaissance, when Brunelleschi was solving the dome of Florence with a genius that still astonishes.
