HIP 92367
What is HIP 92367
In the small Telescopium of the southern sky shines a yellow sun, a G-type star bulkier than ours whose light crossed 359 years of darkness before reaching our eyes. When it set out, Cassini was first observing the division of Saturn's rings. At that distance, its golden glow feels like a wink set deliberately inside the constellation that pays homage to the very instrument by which it was found.
Where it is and when to see it
HIP 92367 lies in the southern 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.
