Who needs a star in Hollywood when you can have one in the sky?? Jonah is such a little super star, he now has a real star in the sky named after him. Jonah got a toy lion for Christmas that came with the ability to register it and name a star in the sky. We decided that Kingston was a good name for the lion. So we logged on to the website and named Kingston, then we got to select where in the sky Jonah's star would be. We chose the constellation Ursa Major (also known as the "Great Bear"); you probably know this constellation as the Big Dipper. His star is named Jonah Sebastian and for all you star gazers out there, the location in the sky is: 9h 24m 52.48s 44 13'31.97' (whatever the heck all that means! lol) I can locate the Big Dipper and that's why we picked the constellation Ursa Major. I can't wait until he gets older and we can point out to him where his star is in the sky. Jonah loves his new buddy Kingston....and we all knew that he was a shining star since November....so today we just sealed the deal. <3

Grandma knew Jonah was a star from the very start!! His very own star in the sky is just frosting on the cake!!
As a scientist, I can't support this mockery of the star catalog. However, it appears that the closest star I could find to those coordinates has a magnitude of 7.3 which is something that will never be seen by the naked eye. So, you have like 5 years to brush up on your telescope skills before you have to show it to him.
The star in question is HP46108:
