Pi
Hot blue starIts story
Pi Ceti is a blue B-type star in the head of Cetus, the sea monster Perseus confronted to save Andromeda. At 393 light-years, its surface boils at temperatures far higher than the Sun's and pours much of its light into the invisible ultraviolet. Beneath the winter sky, its discreet yet piercing glow peers out from the mythological folds of the celestial whale.
