The "star" in this picture is actually Venus, on the night when Venus and Jupiter were the closest together this year. I was playing around with the picture on my computer when I came across a picture I had taken of my sister for my photography class during my sophomore year of high school. The song "Would you like to swing on a star?" popped into my head and I decided to illustrate it. I deleted Jupiter from the picture and added a few links to the chain on the swing, and voila, there was my sister, swinging on a star. See Jovian Love.
