What is HIP 25110
In the far north, within the celestial giraffe of Camelopardalis, glows a yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun. Its light reaches us after a journey of about 68 years: what arrives today set out around 1958, when Sputnik still echoed in radio antennas across half the planet and the space age was just beginning. Camelopardalis is a quiet constellation, without bright stars, drawn in the seventeenth century as a reminder that there was still sky left to name.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 25110 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is December: 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.
