Hot blue starIts story
30 Tauri burns as a blue B-class star about 450 light-years away, set in the rich field of the Bull not far from the Hyades cluster. B stars are young and violent suns: surface temperatures many times that of our own, lifespans brief on a cosmic scale. The light arriving tonight set out in the early sixteenth century, as Magellan was preparing his circumnavigation.
