As the mass and surface temperature of a star, and therefore its colour, are linked, heavier stars are able to \u201cburn\u201d at higher temperatures resulting in a blue glow from their surface.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2020\/11\/A_waterfall_of_stars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">A waterfall of stars<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ESA Top Multimedia&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The galaxy UGCA 193, seen here by the\u00a0NASA\/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is a galaxy in the constellation of Sextans (The Sextant).
