Hot blue starIts story
In Canis Major burns a blue-white B-class sun, young and fierce. Its light set out more than six hundred years ago, when Gutenberg was building his printing press and human knowledge was about to multiply. Far hotter and more luminous than the Sun, this azure flame speaks of the primal fire of massive stars —short-lived and dazzling in their passage.
