Mu
Hot blue starIts story
Mu Lupi looks like a single blue dot from Earth, but it is a system of three hot stars and a barely detected brown dwarf, all caught in the same gravitational dance 336 light-years away. The main one is a B8 dwarf with a searing surface, thousands of times hotter than a bonfire. The shadow of the southern Wolf hides this small knot of siblings.
