Variable starIts story
In the deep reaches of Scorpius peers an extraordinarily distant and hot body, a blue O-class star whose light has been crossing the cosmos for thousands of years. O stars are the rarest and most violent of their lineage, tens of times more massive than the Sun and alive for only a few million years. This one, moreover, varies subtly, beating in the darkness like an overloaded heart.
