Kap-1
Hot blue starIts story
Kappa-1 Coronae Australis burns with the blue of hot B-type stars, nearly a thousand light-years away within the small Southern Crown, a discreet garland at the feet of Sagittarius. Its light reaches us from a time before the European Renaissance, crossing a region of the sky where vast molecular dust clouds hide near the galactic plane.
