Hot blue star

Its story

33 Orionis is a blue B-type star in the most spectacular region of the winter sky, that figure of the Hunter where nebulae, clusters and supergiants gather. Its high temperature gives it a characteristic bluish tone, and its light travels more than a thousand years before reaching us. It dwells in a young zone, rich in stellar formation.
