Hot blue starIts story
In Lacerta, the little lizard of the autumn sky, burns a blue star. Its light crossed more than six centuries before reaching us: it set out around 1402, when Tamerlane defeated the Ottoman sultan at Ankara and the Castilians landed on Lanzarote. Its scorching surface, far hotter than the Sun's, lends it that lavender hue worn only by young stars.
