HIP 92088
What is HIP 92088
In Lyra, beside the ancient harp of Orpheus, it burns with an orange tone and a quiet bearing. Its light departed when engineer James Watt unveiled his improved steam engine and Europe glimpsed the coming industrial revolution. A K-class giant, cooler and larger than the Sun, still recounting —in silence— the end of the artisan world.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 92088 lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is July: 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.
