What is 14 Triangulum

14 Trianguli is an orange giant 433 light-years away in Triangulum, one of the smallest and most modest constellations of the northern sky. Barely three stars sketch that sharp angle, and others, like this one, slip in between: faint but ruddy. Its light set out while the Renaissance was still uncovering perspective in Italian workshops. Looking at Triangulum is realising how much fits into an apparently empty corner of the sky.

Where it is and when to see it

14 Triangulum lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is November: 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.
