CW Leonis, A Red Giant Thrashing In Its Death Agony

A dying star enjoying the last moments of its life… A scarlet ball of white-hot plasma, whose prominences lance through cold vacuum in its agony… Two potent powers are at struggle in its depths.

They now force the star to expand to dozens of times its size, then make it shrink again, only to flare up with new energy. One of these transformations is going to be the last one, but no one can foretell the exact instance with any certainty.

This epic sight could be enjoyed by a space traveller approaching CW Leonis – a pulsating red giant which has been thrashing in a death agony for thousands of years.
