Hot blue starIts story
In the throne of Cassiopeia —arrogant queen chained to the sky— burns a blue beacon 769 light-years away. Its light set out around 1257, when a colossal volcano in Indonesia, Samalas, darkened the climate of half the world for years. Hot B-types are brief furnaces: they burn ultraviolet and tend to gather in young clusters that light up the arms of the Galaxy.
