Hot blue starIts story
The Unicorn also hosts this blue-tinged B-class ember, far hotter than the Sun and nearly six hundred light-years away. Its light set out around 1452, the year Leonardo da Vinci was born and Florence was readying itself for a second Renaissance wave. Five and a half centuries on, that intense blue crosses the constellation's mythic horn and arrives here.
