Its story

In the vast theatre of Orion burns a blue B-type sun whose light crossed 400 years of darkness to reach us. When it set out, Galileo was first aiming his spyglass at the Moon and discovering its craters. Far more massive and hotter than our Sun, it fits perfectly in a constellation famed for its blue giants —another bonfire on the winter stage where the hunter eternally raises his club.
