A signal from Leo
Born beneath
the lion’s heart.
The Catestar is Regulus — a quiet force of light at the center of Leo, watching the universe move around it.
Origin
Not every star asks to be followed.
Some simply hold their place — and become a compass.
At the heart of Leo, Regulus has watched generations look upward. The Catestar carries that same stillness: curious, composed, and impossible to ignore once you have seen its light.
This is not a promise of a destination. It is an invitation to enter the orbit and see what forms around a shared signal.

A blue-white beacon, 79 light-years away.
Regulus is the brightest star in Leo. What appears to the eye as one point of light is a system of four stars arranged in two pairs — a small universe hiding inside a single signal.

Token identity
The Catestar
A celestial mark for those drawn to the bright edge of the unknown. Quiet in name. Radiant in presence.
The constellation
One light becomes a pattern when others gather around it.
Leo is not drawn with lines in the sky. We draw the lines ourselves. Regulus is the point that makes the lion’s heart visible.
Look up. Find the brightest point in Leo. Begin there.
