Hot blue star

Its story

In the belt of Orion vibrates another class B, blue white, far hotter than the Sun. Its light has crossed 1194 years: it left when Charlemagne had just died and his empire was beginning to fragment into the kingdoms that would prefigure medieval Europe. That blue reflection traveled through all that history unaware, and reaches now a sky without emperors.
