Hot blue starIts story
Jabbah is a hot blue star in the body of the Scorpion, its Arabic name «al-jabhah» meaning «the forehead». Telescopically it proves to be a multiple system, several blue suns bound by gravity into a small stellar court that the naked eye perceives as a single point. Its light departed 474 years ago, when Copernicus had only just published his revolutionary heliocentric hypothesis.
