There is no such thing as a “cool” star. Unless perhaps it is pulsating in a jazz beat.

"Still, on a dayside always facing its parent star, temperatures approach a torrid 2,500 degrees F as measured at infrared wavelengths by the MIRI instrument on board the James Webb Space Telescope."

Astronomy Picture Graphic of the Day, based on some guesstimated information. Interesting, nonetheless.

280 light years may as well be 2 million.
