Hot blue starIts story
A hot, blue class B star burns in Vela some five hundred and seventy-six light years away. Its light departed when the Protestant Reformation was sweeping central Europe and the continent was reorganising itself around new ways of believing and printing books. It now crosses a sky that keeps changing hands without altering its geometry.
