Tau-1

Hot blue star

Its story

Tau-1 Aquarii burns 318 light-years away as a hot blue-white B-type star, set outside the main outline of the zodiacal Water-bearer. Aquarius is an ancient figure —the Sumerians tied it to the god An pouring eternal waters— and it brings together many scattered stars rather than a sharp drawing. Tau-1 belongs to that loose weave, where each star adds its own glow to the whole.
