Reggio Emilia, Italy - Independent developer Matteo Montipo' has released Birth Star for iOS - Find out which star is yours with Birth Star. The light from a star takes years to reach the earth, but how many years did it take for the light from your star to reach you? Use this app to know which starlight is yours!

The nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is about 4 light years from the Earth, which means it takes about 4 years for the light to reach our planet. So when you were 4 years old, if you watched at Proxima Centauri you could see the light generated when you were born.
At the age of 6 years old, you would see the light from Barnard's Star (5.9 light years away).

As you age, the light from more distant stars continues reaching the earth, and the long journey it took means it left from that greatly distant place on the day of your birth. Birth Star helps you watch the right star at the right time!
