Hot blue starIts story
15 Aquarii burns blue around 1016 light-years away, in the body of the Water Bearer, that figure pouring celestial waters toward the southern sky. Its type-B surface beats far above twenty thousand degrees, an intensity that turns it into a distant, electric beacon. The light settling on Earth tonight set out in the heart of the High Middle Ages, before the First Crusade.
