Could you explain why time slows down the faster you travel? It's something I've never understood.

My toaster is not working properly, I need help please.

I have recently been trying to find a particular star. I can't seem to find it and it bothers me. Google helped me with nothing. Perhaps it shifted in position since 2004? I'm not sure. Here's the only thing I have on it.
Taurus RA 3h 29m 59s D 15° 12'
I appreciate any help.

Use a kettle instead, pour the boiling water onto the bread to cook it. Then if you don't want soggy toast, buy a new toaster and put it in that to evaporate the water.

Try Stellarium, it's free software and bloody good.

Just had a gander, no big obvious star showed up at those coordinates, the closest (Image one) was HIP 16221. Image two shows it's to the left of the Taurus constellation on an equatorial mount, Image 3 shows where it is with the naked eye.

No idea if HIP 16221 is the star you're looking for, though. Here's some info on it just in case it is:
