Hot blue star

Its story

67 Pegasi is a blue-white B-type star 473 light-years away, in one of the corners of the Winged Horse's great quadrilateral. B stars are young and hot, marked for a brief and violent stellar life before their final transformation. Its light, set out around the middle of the sixteenth century, has travelled across the entire modern era to reach tonight's sky.
