A shocking discovery has been made about the behavior of Kerbol; for centuries kerbals have considered the star relatively normal but recent astronomical observations have shaken that theory to its core.
Kerbol's radius is far too high to be a Main-Sequence star; this, coupled with its temperature, led scientists from across the Joolian system to take more detailed looks into its composition. The results paint an eerie picture, reduced C/N ratio in the atmosphere, along with an increased abundance of helium, key indicators suggesting that Kerbol is going through or recently has gone through the so called "First dredge-up", the indication for the transition into a red giant. Kerbol, like all stars in the universe, will eventually die, but that end is now significantly closer than was previously thought.
Kerbal astronomers have plotted the apparent properties of kerbol, along with a large number of other stars cataloged as part of the greater SEA sky survey that has been conducted for a few years at this point, the result is the following:

The authorities in the SEA forbid this information from being announced to the wider system in the hope of preventing some kind of mass nihilistic panic, it will be announced later upon determining what actions can be taken to try and avert such a problem, as any negative consequences are likely millions of years away.
