Variable starIts story
36 Lyncis is a blue B-type variable, located 581 light-years away in the Lynx. Blue points to a scorching surface, possibly above 12,000 degrees, and its brightness wavers slowly —a sign of inner pulsations or complex geometry. In a constellation made for sharp eyes, this is among the more interesting. A bluish flame with its own beat among scattered stars.
