Bio
Beta Librae is a blue dwarf star of spectral type B8 (main sequence star), a little less evolved than Sirius. It has apparent magnitude 2.7.

At a distance of 160 light years from Earth, it is about 130 times more luminous than the Sun and has a surface temperature of 12,000 kelvins, double that of the Sun. This high temperature produces light with a simple spectrum, making it ideal for examining the interstellar gas and dust between us and the star. Like many stars of its kind, it is spinning rapidly, over 100 times faster than the Sun. This type of hydrogen-fusing star often appears blue-white, but Beta Librae is often described as greenish, the only greenish star visible to the naked eye.[2]

The small periodic variations in the magnitude of the Beta Librae imply the presence of a companion star which is not directly observable from earth.[3]

Frater Beta Librae is me. A humble magickian and archetypal merchantman trying to make a decent living in an often times, indecent world. I study theories and theology, but am a follower of none. My faith is in my heart for my heart. I try to do the best at everything I do,whether or not I am successful. That strive for perfection and godliness is rewarded. Oh yeah...I like long walks on the beach and sunsets LMAO!
