Find your birth star

[ABlockOfCheese]

basically put your birthday into this calculator and it will show you a star that when you look at it, you will be seeing the photons that left the star at the approximate same time you were born. pretty neat.

Your birthday star has the common name van Maanen's Star. It is called NS 0049+0523 in the NStars database.

It has visual magnitude 12.4 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       0:49:9.9
Declination      5:23:19
This star is 14.1 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.
