Hot blue starIts story
In Lyra, near the Vega that orders the northern summer, burns a blue type-B star far hotter than the Sun. Its light set out 504 years ago: it was crossing space as Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg in 1517. A cold spark suspended above the celestial harp, indifferent to the din of human disputes.
