NASA astronomers have found a caudal star through the ultraviolet light. Known as Mira, it is found in the constellation of Cetus at 350 light-years from the solar system. Seen with a typical telescope, it is a red light point, but when observing the ultraviolet light it emits, the Mira is not a point; the matter left on the journey through the galaxy is seen, dispersed in an interval of thirteen light years.
