Hot blue starIts story
20 Aquilae burns blue in the body of the celestial eagle at nearly a thousand light-years. A young, hot B-type star whose light set out for this shore of the sky around the time the Kingdom of Castile was taking shape. Magnitude 5.35 — a coldly intense blue point that has crossed, without pause, the better part of a millennium.
