Variable starWhat is HIP 113327
In the small constellation of Lacerta, the celestial lizard, a bluish B-type star quivers 822 light-years away. Its variable light set out in the heart of the Middle Ages, when Gothic cathedrals were raising their spires toward the same sky that holds it. Far hotter than the Sun, its glow shifts with a subtle rhythm, as though it were breathing slowly. We gather it now, centuries later, a reminder that every glance at the sky is also a journey through time.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 113327 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is October: 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.
