Hot blue starIts story
Near the hunter Orion burns a blue B-class star, whose light has been crossing the darkness for more than 1,400 years, since the days when the Byzantine Empire was rebuilding Hagia Sophia under Justinian. B stars are hot, massive and short-lived bodies; their radiation sculpts the great bright nebulae of the Orionid region.
