Hot blue starIts story
In Perseus, beside the Medusa's head the hero holds, shines a blue giant, fiery and early. Its light began its journey 1,084 years ago, when the caliphs of Córdoba were translating Aristotle and medieval Europe was raising its first Romanesque cathedrals. Far hotter and more luminous than the Sun, its sapphire colour belongs to a star that will live but a cosmic blink before exploding.
