Hot blue starIts story
ε Chamaeleontis is a hot blue star embedded in a small young stellar association that bears its name —one of the closest sites of stellar formation to the Sun. There, just over three hundred light-years away, dozens of newly ignited suns share a molecular cradle. Its cold light illuminates the discreet Chameleon, a constellation traced by the explorers of the southern seas.
