HIP 33024
What is HIP 33024
In Monoceros, a modern constellation drawn in the 17th century, glows this yellow-white star 203 light-years away. Her light departed around 1823, when Joseph Niépce was fixing the first known photograph and the image of the world stopped being mere memory. F stars like this one shine slightly whiter and hotter than the Sun, never reaching the frenzy of the blue ones.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 33024 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is January: 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.
