Name a Star Instant
A real star, registered the moment you've paid, with every document ready to print tonight.
Personalise your star
That's as much as fits on the certificate.
Your stars are registered side by side in the same small patch of sky, usually close enough to hide behind the full Moon. Each has its own Database Number and certificate, and each star's page shows the rest of the group. Stars this close together are too faint to see by eye; a telescope will show them.
Your star is registered and its documents are yours the moment you pay. By ordering, you ask us to start straight away and give up the 14-day legal right to cancel; our own refund promise still covers you.

Your star's name is recorded in the Intergalactic Star Database. Official star names are decided by the International Astronomical Union, which doesn't recognise names from any commercial registry. More on this.
