Hot blue starIts story
In Carina —the keel of the ancient ship Argo— burns this hot B-type blue at 1,773 light-years. Its light set off around the year 253, when the Roman Empire was crossing the third-century crisis and watching emperors come and go like seasons. While Rome was crumbling, the photon kept moving, indifferent to dynasties.
