Hot blue starIts story
In Orion, the most recognisable constellation of the winter sky, burns this hot blue B-class star 1342 light-years away. B stars are young, voracious and short-lived. Its light began its journey when the Byzantine empire was under Leo III and the Tang dynasty ruled China from Chang an. An incandescent fragment lost between the belt and the sword of the hunter.
