Hot blue star

Its story

Hot blue in the tilted throne of Cassiopeia, some 619 light-years away. The light measured tonight left when Joan of Arc was lifting the siege of Orléans and the end of the Hundred Years' War was still beyond sight. Six centuries later, that blue still rides on with the same regal indifference.
