HIP 83150
Variable starWhat is HIP 83150
A white variable in Triangulum Australe, the modest triangle of the southern sky. Her light, flickering yet serene, has been travelling 788 years: it left when Thomas Aquinas was debating reason and faith in Paris, and Mongolia was conquering half of Eurasia. Variable A stars are rare, oscillating little but meaning much within stellar astrophysics.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 83150 lies in the southern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is June: 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.
