Hot blue starIts story
In the modest Tucana, the southern bird, burns a hot blue star some 572 light-years away. Its light set out around 1454, when Gutenberg was tuning his press in Mainz and beginning to multiply words in lead. Far hotter and more luminous than the Sun, its electric brilliance contrasts with the diffuse nebulosities that tangle this southern corner of the sky.
