Rent-A-Star

So there was this thing that made slashdot a few months ago where you could sponsor some research for finding earth-like planets, so I asked stu to adopt me a star for my half-birthday and today he asked me to pick which one I wanted, so I picked this one!

KIC 0277892859 19 04 33.02 +45 55 18.0 7.228

I feel kinda lame because it's not actually mine, but it was only $10 and was an easy way to make stu feel good about his presents!status, but I can always look up and feel connected with a little tiny subpixel of the great overhead display.

It's kinda like playing internet dragons in terms of corporeal appeasement.

I own a tiny part of the moon but this star seems to be just so awesome. I´m really jealous :(
