HIP 73095
What is HIP 73095
A white A-type star in Lupus, young and clean, shining with the serene coolness of polished marble. Its light set out around 1825, when the first public passenger railway opened between Stockton and Darlington, marking the start of the modern industrial era. A-type stars are vigorous bodies whose blue-white luminosity stands out sharply even amid the cosmic dust that tints their neighbours.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 73095 lies in the southern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is May: 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.
