Hot blue starIts story
In Corona Australis, the small southern crown, blazes a blue B-type star nearly 1,450 light-years away. Its white-blue light set out around the year 580, when the Visigoths were consolidating their kingdom in Toledo and Isidore of Seville was still a child. Far hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it beats quietly in one of the most delicate rings of the southern firmament.
