Hot blue starIts story
On the immense canvas of Canis Major, a hot blue star whose distance is measured in hundreds of thousands of light-years sends back an echo from nearly geological time. Its light began the journey when the first Homo sapiens still shared a continent with Neanderthals. What the eye receives tonight is practically a postcard from the cosmic Pleistocene.
