Hot blue star

Its story

Another blue-white point burns in Taurus, some three hundred and eighty-three light years away. When its light first peeled away from its surface, the first true operas were being staged in Italy and Monteverdi was composing works that still echo today. Now that hot star continues its slow course through the bull, oblivious to such earthly resonances.
