Variable starIts story
44 Boötis is a close neighbour by stellar standards — barely forty light-years away, a distance its light covers in roughly the span of a human career. G-type, Sun-like but variable, it flickers softly beside the Herdsman. Its magnitude of 4.83 wavers enough that astronomers have been charting its pulse for over a century.
