Day 269: Discover a Star

"The Universe is full of undiscovered stars. Buy a telescope and a map of the sky, find a star that isn't on the map, draw its position and send it off the the International Astronomical Union demanding that it be named after you as its discoverer."

Since pretty much everything that can actually be seen be humans currently has been seen or at least thought about, I don't think I can actually discover a new star. The closest I can come is to name a star after myself just for the hell of it.

I've always thought that Pillars of Creation were a pretty amazing phenomenon. That little star I circled is now going to be named after me.
