Its story

It glitters white-blue in Centaurus, a grand constellation of the southern sky, around 369 light years away. Its light was born about 1657, when Christiaan Huygens revealed the true shape of Saturn's rings through his telescope. B-type, fiery and young, its brightness shifts softly, as if its interior were still tuning the registers of its own score. A luminous flame traveling all this way to set its blue pulse down here, without a sound.
