Your birthday star is in the constellation Eridanus. It is called 40 Eridani in the Historia Cœlestis Britannica of John Flamsteed and Edmund Halley. It is called NS 0415-0739 A in the NStars database.

It has visual magnitude 4.43 meaning that you could see this star with the naked eye in good viewing conditions. It is marked in the center of this star chart, at celestial coordinates (J2000 equinox):

Right ascension 4:15:16.3
Declination -7:39:10.3
This star is 16.4 light years away, which means that 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.

OOoooooh I like birthday stars...

Hmmm which date to choose. Hmmm, I'll do both, I guess...

For those days I'm feeling 7...

Your Birthday Star:

Your birthday star has the common name Wolf 359. It is called NS 1056+0700 in the NStars database.

It has visual magnitude 13.53 meaning that you would need a telescope to see this star. It is marked in the center of this star chart, at celestial coordinates (J2000 equinox):
Right ascension 10:56:29.2
Declination 7:0:53

This star is 7.8 light years away, which means that 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.



And for those days I have to act like a 12 year old...
