Hot blue starIts story
In the stellar murmur of Centaurus burns a blue B-class star, whose light set out some 444 years ago, while Cervantes was preparing the manuscript for the first part of Don Quixote. These stars are true furnaces: their surface comfortably exceeds 10,000 degrees, and their radiation sculpts the surrounding gas clouds into capricious shapes.
