Hot blue starIts story
λ Leporis burns at 852 light-years, a blue B-class sun hidden beneath Orion's feet in the constellation of the Hare. It belongs to that generation of massive stars that light the spiral arms of the Galaxy and exhaust their fuel in mere tens of millions of years. When this light first departed, the Crusades had not yet begun and Europe had barely emerged from the first millennium.
