What is 35 Capricorni

35 Capricorni is a K-type orange giant 560 light-years away, in the old Sea-Goat of the zodiac. The constellation, one of the faintest, traces a flattened triangle that the ancients linked to a goat with a fish's tail. Its coppery light travels from the late Renaissance, when the first lenses were just beginning to be pointed at the sky.

Where it is and when to see it

35 Capricorni lies in the southern 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
