Hot blue starIts story
38 Aquarii shines with the crisp blue of B-type stars among the waters of the celestial water-bearer. Its light took 450 years to reach us, travelling through the very era when the world's oceans were first mapped. Magnitude 5.43 — a cold gleam at the edge of vision, as fierce at its source as it is serene on arrival.
