Variable starIts story
Variable and blue, on the back of Lupus, 547 light-years away. The slow pulsations of its atmosphere turn it into an unstable beacon that professional astronomers catalogue with patience. Its light set out around the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the event that symbolically closes the Middle Ages.
