A Star for a Star
If you look up into the night sky and find Polaris, the North Star, you will see a constellation nearby called Dragon (Draco). And if you look very carefully you will see one star shining quite brightly in the Dragon constellation. That star is called Beta Draconis. It is 360 light years away and what makes it special is that it is dedicated to Jackie Chan.
Heidi, a fan from Munich, Germany, had the star dedicated to Jackie and a beautiful certificate with a star map were recently sent to the office in Hong Kong. Jackie was very pleased to see what was written on the certificate:
"You stand for love, kindness, hope, peace, and tolerance. You are like a light shining on Earth, just like this star is twinkling in the sky."
Jackie wanted to share it with all of you who visit the website, so here he is with his star map and star certificate!
