What do you give the person who has everything and means everything to you? What could make someone feel more special than having a real star named in their honour? And what gift could more perfectly express how important that someone is to you? They will never forget this gift, or you.

How do you name a star?

You nominate the constellation, the date of registration, and, most importantly, the name you are giving to the star. All the instructions on how to do this will be sent to you upon receipt of your booking.

What are you giving?

The Starname, the date of registration, the constellation and astronomical coordinates of the star are entered in personalised calligraphy on a 30 cm by 40cm full colour parchment certificate of record with gold seal.

A large astronomical chart (30cm by 40cm) pinpoints the star which is clearly plotted and circled in red. The constellation is highlighted and all the scientific data relating to the star, including its brightness, are printed on the chart.

A booklet ‘Our Place in the Cosmos’ gives a fascinating introduction to astronomy. It also contains a pictorial constellation chart for orientation purposes, and instructions on how to locate the star you have named.

A letter of congratulations explains that the starname and scientific details are listed alphabetically in the next edition of the series of books 'Your Place in the Cosmos'. These books are published and registered with the US Copyright Office in Washington DC. For Memorials, a fittingly worded letter conveys this information to those concerned.

The certificate, chart and documentation are enclosed in a gold embossed PVC folder and shipped in a custom-made flat box wrapped in gold star paper.

Are the stars visible to the naked eye? Only 2873 stars are visible to the naked eye. They are not available for naming because they already have scientific and historical names. The stars available for naming are bright enough to be seen with a small telescope (100mm or 4inch).

PLEASE NOTE: At the time of redemption, you will be required to select a date. This date will not affect the date of registration of the star naming gift. You can still choose any date from the current year for the gift.
