HIP 14764
Hot blue starWhat is HIP 14764
In Aries burns a hot blue star some 445 light-years away. Its light set out around 1581, when Philip II proclaimed the Iberian Union and a young Galileo discovered the isochronism of the pendulum. Its blue-white surface far exceeds ten thousand degrees —a young, vehement star that will spend its life in a fraction of the Sun's age.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 14764 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

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.
