Variable starIts story
Another blue variable in Vela, another tremor on the sails of the ship Argo. Its B class and pulsing nature make it an irregular stellar heart, 693 light-years away. When that light began its journey, France s Gothic cathedrals were being finished and Marco Polo was writing his book of travels from a Genoese cell. A blue heartbeat caught in a legendary vessel.
