About 130 light-years away from Earth there's an early M-Dwarf star called StKM 1-1262.
Let's call it 1262… It's actually a common, ordinary star, the most common of stars, in fact. It's a red dwarf! They're also called 'Flare Stars' because they flare up frequently. Tempestuous little buggers! Not long ago astronomers got an exciting radio message of a sort from this star.
What did the message say? Just listen!
