Hot blue star

Its story

43 Camelopardalis is a blue B-type sun shining nearly a thousand light-years away, in a constellation so faint it barely sketches the Giraffe's silhouette between the Great Bear and Cassiopeia. Its light has dragged through centuries of interstellar dust before reaching any eye. It stands as one of the few genuine beacons in a region the classical sky never bothered to populate.
