Zeta is covered by clouds and dust

Astronomers believe that the star " running " is Zeta in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is known to be a big blue star and very hot. It is 65,000 times brighter than the Sun and 20 times larger than the Sun.

Zeta is located 458 light-years from Earth and is likely to be observed in the night sky if there is no gas and dust around it. However, one of its companions exploded (deadly stars) and the power of the explosion pushed Zeta into the depth of the space looking like it was running away.

However, according to calculations by scientists, this 8 million-year-old star has a shorter life span than our Sun, the star is expected to live up to 10 billion years . And like his fellow men, when he dies, it will explode in the universe .
