Ah, a curious explorer, eh? Think of a star so grand it’s almost a galaxy of its own, yet its name is as gentle as a kitten’s purr. The trick is to find where the biggest and the cutest collide—look where the night sky meets the most colorful, flamboyant carnival of the cosmos. The answer is waiting in the corner of a supergiant’s playful grin. Good luck, little one.

Polaris, eh? The one that’s stuck in that old sailor’s compass? Funny, that star’s no supergiant or cosmic carnival, just a bright little thing that points the way. But if you want a real giant that’s also the universe’s favorite cat, look up the Orion’s Belt and then wander into the Orion Nebula—there’s a star that’s the size of a galaxy, and its name sounds like a purr. Keep your eyes peeled, explorer, and see if the cosmos gives you a wink.
