Hot blue starIts story
In Carina —the keel of the Argo that sailed the ancient seas— shines a B-type star, blue-white and searing, far hotter than the Sun. Its light began its journey almost five centuries ago, when Flemish workshops painted miniature landscapes on wood and sky charts barely contained the southern hemisphere. It arrives now as a faithful echo of that curiosity.
