About “Inconstant Star”
Inconstant Star is a science fiction novel by Poul Anderson, composed of two novellas: Iron and Inconstant Star. These were originally published in The Man-Kzin Wars (1988) and Man-Kzin Wars III (1990). The title refers to a tumbling alien artifact that emits radiation. Its rotation causes the radiation to be visible only briefly from any given location in space, creating the appearance of a star that disappears as the object moves. The story centers on this mysterious artifact and its effects on those who encounter it. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
