Its story

67 Ophiuchi is a blue supergiant, one of those rare gems that lights Ophiuchus with a white-blue glare. Its B5 Ib class places it among the most luminous naked-eye stars: it radiates hundreds of times more energy than the Sun. The light grazing a human eye tonight departed there in the European Middle Ages, crossing more than a thousand years of dark before reaching the atmosphere.
