Variable starIts story
Another near neighbour, only 19.1 light-years away in Libra. This variable orange K-dwarf is the kind of star a backyard astronomer can point at with pride: small, warm-toned, long-lived. The light we see now set out in 2007, the year the first iPhone was unveiled and the world's pockets changed shape forever.
