Hot blue starIts story
Another blue ember in the rich field of Orion, this one B-type at 780 light-years. Its light set off at the end of the thirteenth century, when Marco Polo was returning from China and Europe was beginning to suspect the true scale of the world. One of the many stars filling Orion s quadrant without pretension —dignified and silent.
