Name a Star A4 (Framed)
An original and symbolic gift idea. Present that someone special with a star in their name. (All Prices Include Delivery)
Astronomers divided the sky into areas, as perceived from earth, so as to create a consistent spherical map, rather like the markings on a football. In this way, 88 areas or constellations were formed. Only a handful of stars bear names, arising from Arabic, Greek and Roman mythology. The vast majority of stars are referred to only by their astronomical co-ordinates or catalogue numbers, they are unnamed and there are millions and millions of them. So why not name one after someone special.?

Name a Star A4 (Framed) Notes
As well as receiving your gift set, your chosen star name is registered and copyrighted in A Personal Guide to the Universe, The listing of new star names and their telescopic co-ordinates. The book is published, and as a publication, is deposited with the legal deposit libraries. Present and future generations may therefore look up the star name in the register and using binoculars or a telescope, locate the star in the sky. The Certificate of Registration is not a standard size - the frame compliments and fits the certificate beautifully, turning your order into a stylish and classic gift. Quality diffused glass - no light reflected off glass.Please note that this is a fun, inspirational gift and scientific institutions will continue to refer to stars by their catalogue number or coordinates only.
