Cool red starIts story
98 Herculis is an M-type red giant some 738 light-years away, cold and vast, in a late stage of its evolution. Its outer layers have cooled into deep reddish tones, a stellar sunset stretched across millions of years. Hercules, the constellation that shelters it, holds the globular cluster M13, one of the classic summer targets for amateur telescopes.
