Its story
46 Ceti pulses in orange about 288 light-years away, inside the long body of the Whale stretched beneath the Southern Fish. Its type-K surface burns cooler than the Sun and bathes space in a warm, ember-coloured light. What reaches Earth tonight set out when Newton s first telescopes were still being polished.
