Hot blue starIts story
5 Camelopardalis is a blue-white binary system 620 light-years away, a hot B-type star whose temperature far exceeds ten thousand degrees. It inhabits the Giraffe, the late, quiet circumpolar constellation traced by Plancius in 1613. Its light departed in the late fourteenth century, while Europe was still recovering from the Black Death.
