Cool red starIts story
82 Virginis is a cool oddity: an M-class star, deeply red, about 510 light-years away within Virgo. Its surface, far gentler than the Sun s, gives it that unmistakable ember tone that sets it apart from the rest of the field. The light reaching us tonight left in the early sixteenth century, during the age of the great oceanic voyages.
