Can you actually buy a star for someone?
Buying a star is a symbolic gesture that allows you to dedicate a star in the sky to a loved one. While the name is unofficial in the scientific community, it holds sentimental value and is recorded in our star registry. Each star we name is unique, and the recipient receives a personalized certificate, star map, and a link to their personalized star page. It’s a beautiful way to commemorate a special occasion or honor someone’s memory.
How much does it cost to name a star?
Naming a star starts at just $9.95, offering a unique and affordable way to commemorate a special occasion. The basic package includes registration in our star registry with a link to the personalized star page and a digital certificate. However, the final cost can vary depending on the additional features you choose. Some options include a beautifully printed certificate, a star map, or even a custom frame. These enhancements allow you to create a personalized and meaningful gift, fitting a range of budgets and preferences.
Is there an official star registry?
While we provide a registry that records the symbolic naming of stars, it is important to understand that these names are not officially recognized by the scientific community. Astronomical organizations have their own designations for stars, and those are the only names that are used in professional astronomy. Our star registry, however, offers a personal and sentimental way to associate a star with a loved one, complete with a certificate, personal star page, and a star map.
How long does it take to receive the star certificate?
Your digital certificate and a link to your personal star page are typically sent immediately after purchase.
Can I see my star without a telescope?
Depending on the brightness and location of the named star, it may be possible to see it without a telescope. Many stars are visible to the naked eye, especially in areas with clear skies and low light pollution. We provide specific coordinates and guidance to help you locate your star, regardless of the equipment you have.
