Variable starIts story
In the quiet constellation of Norma burns a B-type blue giant more than 1,822 light-years away. Its light departed in the early third century, when the Roman Empire was entering its great crisis. Far hotter and far more luminous than the Sun, it also breathes: a variable star that slowly shifts its brilliance, pulsing in blue like a distant beacon.
