Hot blue star

Its story

Zeta Canis Minoris is a hot blue B-type star whose light sets out on a journey of nearly 624 years before touching Earth. It belongs to the diminutive Canis Minor, dominated by Procyon, and stands among its few truly notable members. Its surface burns at temperatures several times that of the Sun, and its intrinsic brightness is far greater than the modest apparent magnitude suggests —dimmed by the great distance.
