Its story
Upsilon Ophiuchi is a white A-type star about 133 light-years away, in the body of the Serpent Bearer. Its pure light, with barely a yellow or blue tint, betrays a surface temperature several thousand degrees hotter than the Sun. It belongs to the secondary backdrop of Ophiuchus —that vast constellation the Sun crosses each December, yet the traditional zodiac never names.
