HR 1035
Scientific overview
HR 1035 is a blue supergiant in the constellation Camelopardalis (Camelopardalis), lying about 1,941.4 light-years from Earth.
Class B. Hot, blue-white stars. Massive and luminous, they often light up the regions where they form. Such stars have surface temperatures around 10,000–30,000 K and appear blue-white to the eye.
