Variable starIts story
In Canis Major, where Sirius reigns, pulses a blue variable B-class star whose light set out some 1,019 years ago, in the heart of the Viking age, when longships were crossing the Atlantic to Vinland. Its brightness is not steady: it oscillates faintly, and that pulse betrays the inner tensions of a young, hot body still seeking equilibrium.
