Hubble spots a rare "blue lurker" star in a triple system, offering insights into star evolution.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has identified a rare "blue lurker" star in the M67 star cluster, about 2,800 light-years away. Part of a triple-star system, this star is unusual due to its fast spin and likely mergers with other stars, making it hotter and brighter. This discovery offers valuable insights into the complex evolution of multiple star systems.
