Hot blue star

Its story

15 Sagittarii is a blue B-type star in the very heart of Sagittarius, the direction in which the Galaxy's centre itself lies. Its surroundings form one of the densest regions of the sky: dark dust clouds, young star clusters and the spiral furnaces that feed the Milky Way. Its light pours out with the clean ultraviolet fury that only B and O suns know how to compose.
