Hot blue starIts story
In the southern Centaurus, 326.5 light-years away, another blue B-class sun burns with the clean, brief fury of massive stars. Its light set out when Bach had just accepted the cantorship at St Thomas in Leipzig and was beginning to write the weekly cantatas that would reshape sacred music. Three centuries of blue voyage to reach the human eye.
