Four quick questions. Then we search 119,000+ real catalogued stars for one that will actually be shining above your horizon, so you can step outside and point at it.
1. Who is this star for?
We'll lean toward a fitting part of the sky.
2. How bright should it be?
All are real, visible stars. Brighter is easier to spot; dimmer feels more one-of-a-kind.
3. When will you look up at it?
We check the sky for around 9:30pm on that night.
4. Where will you be standing?
Only used to do the sky math. Never stored or sent anywhere.
