Hot blue star

Its story

112 Herculis is a hot B-type blue star 406 light-years away, set on the eastern reaches of the Hero. Its light, far hotter than the Sun's, crossed four full centuries before meeting our telescopes. It belongs to that lineage of massive suns whose youth burns so fast that their entire biography lasts only a fraction of the Sun's.
