What is HIP 103571

In the small constellation of Equuleus shines a yellow star about 184 light-years away. Its light set out around 1842, when the first daguerreotypes were freezing human faces for the very first time and railways were stitching Europe shore to shore. A distant sibling of the Sun in colour and temperament, it still offers its calm golden tone to whoever knows where to look.

Where it is and when to see it

HIP 103571 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is August: the Sun sits at the opposite point of the sky and the star culminates around midnight. How high it climbs above the horizon depends on the latitude you watch from.

The signature wall

Stelvia's sky works like a signature wall: anyone can leave their name and a message on a real star, and that signature goes up on the map for everyone to read. Signing is free.

A signature without a lock can be replaced by someone else's. The lock makes the signature permanent and lets you choose a symbolic name for the star, always shown next to the star's catalogue identifier. How the lock works

Write my signature

A public signature from a real person. The chosen name is a symbolic denomination within Stelvia, with no official standing or IAU recognition: the sky is not for sale and belongs to no one.
