Aldhibah

Hot blue starIts story
Aldhibah is a hot blue-white star in Draco, 328 light-years away, part of the serpentine body that winds between the two Bears. Its name comes from the Arabic «al-dhiʾbān», the wolves —medieval astronomers saw the pair watching over a nearby herd of stellar gazelles. Its light burns far more fiercely than the Sun's, and when you catch it, it will have spent nearly four centuries crossing the void.
