Hot blue starIts story
In southern Sagittarius burns a blue B-type star whose light has traveled 711 years: it set out when the European guilds were imposing their statutes upon medieval cities and the long autumn of feudalism was beginning. Hot, young and massive, it shines with that piercing blue which marks the most energetic stars of the sky.
