HIP 30545
What is HIP 30545
In Monoceros, that discreet constellation tucked between the great winter figures, shines a yellow-white star of F type. Its light set out one hundred and ten years ago, when the First World War was rewriting the map of Europe and changing the idea of the twentieth century forever. Slightly hotter than the Sun, it offers that clear, almost pale-gold tone characteristic of F stars. It is a serene point in a corner often overlooked of the winter sky, hidden between Orion and the two dogs faithfully following him.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 30545 lies in the southern 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.
