Hot blue star

Its story

17 Draconis burns blue in the coils of the celestial dragon, a B-type star whose surface hovers around twenty thousand degrees. Its light set out 412 years ago and crossed the void in the era when Galileo first turned his small telescope toward Jupiter. Magnitude 5.07 — a sheet of kindled ice at the very edge of perception.
