“Betelgeuse, I told myself with anger, Betelgeuse is in the constellation of Orion, the Hunter. It is the first star whose diameter was measured. It is three hundred million miles in diameter and it is five hundred light-years distant. I told myself these facts and the tears retreated and I knew that I would not have to cry.”
-Camilla, Madeleine L’Engle
