36 Persei is somewhat hotter and somewhat larger than the Earth's own Sun. It lies more
than one hundred and twenty light years away, in the constellation of Perseus.
A view of the volatile star 36 Persei, in the heart of the
Milky Way. This artist's impression shows plumes of plasma
being cast off into space by the star - the visible effects of a cyclical change in
energy production.
