14 Piscium
What is 14 Piscium
14 Piscium is a white A-type star 212 light-years away, in the long ribbon of Pisces that joins the two fishes of the ancient zodiac. Its hot atmosphere, near nine thousand degrees, gives it a clean, firm glow. The constellation crosses the celestial equator, and through it passes the modern spring equinox —the Vernal Point— carried here by the slow precession of the equinoxes since Babylonian times.
Where it is and when to see it
14 Piscium lies in the southern 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.
