Hot blue starIts story
It burns with the intense blue of a B-type star in Canis Major, home of Sirius. Its light set out about 1,750 years ago, around the twilight of the Western Roman Empire, when legions were withdrawing and Germanic kingdoms were emerging in Europe. That blue is the mark of high heat and a short stellar life on cosmic scales. In the brightest dog of the sky, this star keeps a deep post, far from Sirius dazzle.
