Geocache Description:

Starlight #5, the fifth and final cache in the Starlight Series, represents the fifth star from planet Earth.  Being a Letterbox Hybrid cache, this cache contains a unique stamp cachers can use to mark their personal logbooks.  You will need to bring your own inkpad though.  One is not included in the cache.


The star represented by this cache, is less than 1 billion years old.  A baby in terms of stars.  It is a small Red Dwarf M Type star.  At 20% the size of Sol, and 7.8 light years away from Earth, you would need a telescope to see it.  This star is so dim, it's luminosity is 1/50,000th that of the sun.  In fact if it were to replace the sun it would light up our little planet with the intensity of only 10 full moons.  Rounding out the series, the name of this new comer is............yes, one more time you need to find the cache and stamp your log to get the name of this little star.
