Cool red starIts story
In the small southern constellation of Telescopium shines an aged M-type red giant 1,036 light-years away. Its light began its journey around the year 990, as the Christian kingdoms of northern Iberia pushed southward during the Reconquista. Much cooler than the Sun and enormously swollen, it spills an ancient reddish glow, like an ember that refuses to fade.
