Highly luminous starIts story
In southern Carina seems to burn a colossal yellow star sitting at hundreds of thousands of light-years away. Its light set out in an era predating human civilisation and crossed silences between interstellar clouds and entire galaxies. Tens of thousands of times more luminous than the Sun, it lifts a golden flame of incomprehensible scale in the depths of the cosmos.
