Hot blue starIts story
Again in Puppis, another hot blue B-type ember, this time at 678 light-years. The light crossing the atmosphere right now left when the Black Death was sweeping fourteenth-century Europe and Arab astronomers were still refining Ptolemy s catalogues. A hot star, young in stellar terms, seen from an old planet.
