Hot blue starIts story
Lyra —the lyre Orpheus left hanging in the sky— holds this blue B-type ember at nearly six hundred light-years. Its light set off when the workshops of Nuremberg were printing the first modern maps of the world and Europe was discovering itself as a continent. Now, unknowingly, it lights another map: the night.
