HIP 34267
What is HIP 34267
Between the eternal twins shines a yellow sun, a G-type star slightly larger than ours whose light began its journey 302 years ago. When it set out, Newton was still calculating planetary motions and modern celestial mechanics was taking its first steps. Its balanced, warm golden tone seems strung between the shoulders of Castor and Pollux like a soft candle set to watch over the symmetry of their ancient brotherhood.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 34267 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.
