Its story
36 Serpentis is a white A-type star in the head of the Serpent, 162 light-years away, glowing at magnitude 5.09. Its surface reaches temperatures that comfortably double the Sun's, and its bluish-white light betrays a young star still in the first half of its life. We find it near Unukalhai, the red heart of the constellation —a small cold spark beside the orange pulse of the snake.
