Janice (jamasc) | 60337 comments This badge is broken down into 3 sections.

Intro:

1. Read a book with stars on the cover.

2. Read a book with "Star" in the title - it may be embedded (Starman Jones.

Colours:
Stars are classed with several colours: For cover tasks related to colour you need 75% coverage as verified by Tin Eye: https://labs.tineye.com/color/
For title prompts, no embedding allowed.

3. Red is the coolest star rating. Read a book that is 75% red on the cover, or Red is in the title.

4. Orange Read a book that is 75% orange on the cover, or Orange is in the title.

5. Yellow: Read a book that is 75% yellow on the cover, or Yellow is in the title.

6 White: Read a book that is 75% white on the cover, or White is in the title,

7. Blue are very hot stars: Read a book that is 75% blue on the cover, or Blue is in the title.

Trivia:

8. Sirius means "Scorching" in Ancient Eqypt. Read a book that is set in Ancient Egypt.

9. Sirius is also called the dog star. Read a book that is written from a dog's POV. (Chet & Bernie series by Spencer Quinn is a good example of this.) There may be other character's POV, as long as the dog's POV is a significant part of the story.

10. There is a star called Betelgeuse (pronounced BEH-tel-jooz) Sound familiar? As in the movie Beetlejuice? His official name is Betelguise as listed on its Wikipedia page. He was played by Michael Keaton. Read a book with a main character named Michael or written by an author named Michael. Names must be exact and not derivatives.

11. Vega was the first star to be photographed. Read a book that shows a photograph. It must be identifiable as a photograph. It doesn't count if the cover itself is a photograph.
✔️ Sun-Kissed (Love In All Seasons, #1) by Frankie Love
Beetlejuice - Screenplay by Michael McDowell

12. Mark Hamill has a star named after him. Specifically, it's named "Mark Richard Hamill – Luke Skywalker" and is located in the constellation Perseus. It was gifted to him by International Star Registry in 2018. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Read a book that was adapted in a blockbuster movie.

13. The music for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" was written in the 1700's, and was adapted by Mozart among others. Read a book that has a mpg of Music. (For the record, stars don't twinkle.)

14. Stars have a lifecycle. When some stars with high mass die, they explode. That explosion is called a Supernova. Read a book with an explosion, or what appears to be on the cover. It needs to be reasonable surmised that it is an explosion.

15. In 1799, a French Astronomer, invented a constellation that consisted of scattered faint stars, and called it Felis the Cat.
