A quiet but meaningful moment in skywatching history unfolded as TYC 3905-1292-1, a little-known star in the constellation Draco, was symbolically designated as “Star Babylove” by Dr. Nicholas J. Pirro and Lissette Negron-Pirro.

Now provisionally listed in the AAVSO Variable Star Index, this 9.5-magnitude circumpolar star—visible year-round over northern latitudes—has been elevated from numeric anonymity to poetic and scientific presence.

“This is more than a gesture of naming,” said Dr. Pirro. “It is an act of stewardship, love, and astronomical storytelling—a fusion of science and meaning.”

Located at RA 17h 20m 39.6s | Dec +65° 39′ 45″, the star has been observed, charted, and now honored in published research (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11141563), where it is described as “a circumpolar reflection of enduring light.”

💫 Why It Matters
This act is part of a broader initiative to bridge the space between cataloging and connection—inviting citizen astronomers, families, and students to see the night sky not just as data points, but as a living narrative.

Star Babylove joins a new tradition of symbolic designations backed by:

Scientific coordinates & finder charts

Cultural, literary, and philosophical context

Publication and public outreach campaigns
