Hot blue starIts story
Within northern Camelopardalis glows a blue B-type star, young and hot, separated from us by 361 light years. Its light set out around the days of Galileo, when the first telescope began to lay the heavens bare. Far more massive than the Sun, it burns with an intensity that makes it one of those brief lighthouses of the cosmos.
