HIP 110992
What is HIP 110992
In Pegasus shines an orange class K star whose light crossed 1,254.6 years to reach us. It departed around the year 771, while Charlemagne was seizing the kingdom of the Franks and paving the way for the Holy Roman Empire. A star cooler than the Sun yet steady, of ancient amber tone, pinned to the neck of the winged horse that crosses the autumn sky of the northern hemisphere.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 110992 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is September: 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

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.
