Hot blue starIts story
Within the modest Lesser Dog, beside Sirius and Procyon, burns a hot B-type blue star 1,631 light-years away. Its light set out around the year 395, the same year the Roman Empire was finally split between East and West. Far hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it sustains its intense bluish flame in a small constellation that returns above the horizon every winter.
