Hot blue starIts story
ν Orionis shines blue-white at 516 light-years, set in the Hunter's raised shield. A B-class star, young and hot, it is one of many that populate the Orion region and trace its firm outlines in the winter sky. That whole stretch of the heavens is a recent stellar nursery, and ν Orionis belongs to that lineage of suns born almost in the same cosmic breath.
