The-1

Hot blue star

Its story

Theta-1 Sagittarii shines more than five hundred light-years away toward the very heart of the Milky Way, in the direction Sagittarius aims its arrow. It is a hot blue-white B-type star, a young flame in a sky region thick with dark dust clouds, globular clusters and stellar nurseries. Every one of its photons crosses an ocean of more distant suns before reaching the human eye.
