Hot blue starIts story
Algorab comes from the Arabic 'al-ghurab', 'the raven', and marks the wing of the dark bird that, in Greek myth, betrayed Apollo and was nailed forever to the sky. It is a hot blue star some 87 light-years away, close enough that its cool tone is recognisable on a clear night. The light reaching us now set out around 1939.
