Its story
Among the Hunting Dogs, beside Ursa Major, shines an A-type white star 171 light-years away. Its light set out around 1855, as Florence Nightingale was revolutionising hospital medicine during the Crimean War. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, its bluish-white hue reminds us that the night sky harbours precise colours behind its apparent uniformity.
