Hot blue starIts story
Within the northern mists of Cepheus, this hot blue B-type star shines about 1500 light-years away. Its light began its voyage around the year 525, when Boethius was writing the Consolation of Philosophy and the Visigothic kingdoms were consolidating Toledo. Its blazing surface makes it one of those distant beacons that betray the arms of the galaxy. We see it as a blue sigh arriving from late antiquity.
