The photons entering your eyes right now left Capella in 1982. Two yellow giants, locked in a 104-day orbit, sent this light together from 43 light-years away. The star that never sets opens Decan 5 with the ancient question of what is worth protecting and what protection costs the guardian who provides it.
On discovering Algol's 2.867-day eclipsing binary pattern in your own sleep cycles, learning that 'this part doesn't get easier but I get more prepared and resilient,' and understanding how mass transfer physics means what eclipses you can become what feeds you
The photons entering your eyes right now left Algol in 1932. For three thousand years called cursed, this eclipsing binary star reveals how challenges follow rhythms and obstacles become fuel. December 15-24: face what blocks your light, consume its mass, emerge brighter.
Fomalhaut is 25 light-years away, the closest of The Decan Log's major stars. The photons arriving tonight left in the year 2000, the millennium's threshold. The Lonely Star, one of the Four Royal Stars of Persia, sole first-magnitude star with an imaged debris disk. October 16-25: clarity and renewal.
