Hot blue starIts story
Suspended over the Stern of the ancient Argo Navis, this blue B-class star sends light that set out about 222 years ago, when the peoples of the Southern Cone were sealing their declarations of independence. Its temperature comfortably exceeds that of the Sun and its radiation crosses the austral sky like a cold flash among the hidden clouds of the Milky Way.
