In 1617, David Fabricius lay on a church floor at the age of 53, murdered by a man wielding a shovel, who Fabricius had just accused of stealing a goose. It was a sorry end for the person who was first to spot one of the most important objects in the history of astronomy – a flashing star called Mira. And that is how you open an article! Not medieval, but it’s always interesting to unravel some mysteries that occupied our ancestors’ minds.
