Our Ursa Major , the Greater Bear, contains remnants of ancient Arabic constellations, the best-known example the star Alkaid , which refers to the leader of the daughters of a funeral bier. Southwest of the Dipper's bowl lie three obvious pairs of stars that represent the bear's paws, but to the Arabs were the tracks of leaping gazelles. Before long, the helium will fire up to fuse to carbon, and the star will dim some and stabilize as a class K giant. Magnetically active stars like the Sun blow a relatively fast but thin wind from their surfaces. Larger giants blow slower, but much thicker winds.
Hybrid stars seem to blow both.
Though the star is cooler than the dividing line at which stars seem to lose their X-rays, Tania Australis perversely still seems to radiate them. Alas, the southern star of the second leap is not very well understood.
