Finding your birthday star
LINK
Your birthday star is in the constellation Pegasus. It is called 85 Pegasi in the Historia Cœlestis Britannica of John Flamsteed and Edmund Halley. It is called NS 0002+2704 A in the NStars database. It has visual magnitude 5.8 meaning that you could just see this star with the naked eye under the best viewing conditions. It is marked in the center of this star chart, at celestial coordinates (J2000 equinox): Right ascension 0:2:10.2 Declination 27:4:56.2 The light we see from it today set off on its journey at about the same time that you were born. Come back in a month or two and your birthday star may change, as the light from more distant stars reaches Earth.  Last edited by cchris; 05-14-2004 at 11:07 PM.. |

Your birthday star is in the constellation Bullocks Bladder. It has the name Y (not) in Johann Bayer's Uranometria star catalogue. It is called FU 2040-6969 in the NStars database.
It has visual magnitude of 8.75 meaning that you won't see me for dust, especially if i've just got your wallet! It is marked in the center of this star chart, at celestial coordinates (F2390 equinox): Right ascension: 20:67:86:56:00.0 declination: -20:67:86:56:00.0 This star is 239 light years away, which means that the light we see from it today set off on its journey at about the same time that hell froze over. Come back in a month or two and your birthday star may flip you the bird, as the light from more distant stars reaches Earth.
