What is HIP 14382

Within the old shield of Perseus glows an orange giant some 211 light-years away. Its light set out around 1815, when skies were still veiled by ash from the Tambora eruption and Europe endured the so-called «year without a summer». Cooler yet far more extended than the Sun, it is a calm amber flame in a northern corner of the firmament.

Where it is and when to see it

HIP 14382 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.
