Can You Actually Buy a Star Name?

Stars have been around for a very long time, and many cultures hold them in high esteem. Over the years, people have attributed different significance to stars; some go as far as naming a star after a deceased loved one. Despite the growing popularity of star naming, many people are still not familiar with the concept and how much it would cost to buy and name one.

This article explains star naming and why it has become popular.

Naming A Star

Astronomers have been naming stars for decades, so the concept is nothing new; however, in recent times, private organizations have embraced the concept of naming stars, and there are several reasons why star naming has become very popular.

To express love

Some people choose to name a star after their loved one to express their love. Contrary to popular opinion that star naming is only ideal for dead persons, the living can still have their names attached to the stars above. You can express how you feel about a sibling, colleague, or significant other by naming a star after them.

To excite and impress

You can use a star to impress and excite your friends and family. People expect gifts from their loved ones on special occasions, which are often tangible items like gadgets, food, flowers, and the likes, but many would least expect that a star would be named after them. Offering a star certificate to a loved one on their special occasion is a gesture that will excite and impress them at the same time. People appreciate gifts that they least expect.

To pay homage

If you have someone who you have tremendous respect and admiration, you may name a star in their honor. Any time the star comes out at night, they will appreciate what it represents. Suffice it to say that the act proves your immense respect for them, and they will love you for it.

To immortalize

Immortalization is perhaps one of the main reasons why many people name stars after others. To ensure that their memory never does, a star can be used to immortalize their memory and all they stood for. Though they are dead, they will continue to live in the hearts of those with whom they shared a connection.

For sentimental value

People name stars for their sentimental value, and you can do the same. Stars represent different things to different people but hold sentimental value across all cultures. It may be an intangible gift, but everyone can relate to it because it serves as a sign of hope and inspiration.

Spreading good cheer

Some people just like to do something different to spread goodness all around. Doing something out of the ordinary is not something many people do, but if you think out of the box by giving a star certificate to a loved one, they will appreciate the gesture.

Can You Buy A Star?

It may seem too good to be true, but it is possible to buy a star. You can definitely buy a star in your name or the name of a close relative, friend, sibling, child, or colleague, regardless of whether they are dead or alive. Moreover, you can buy a supernova which is a bigger and brighter star, and name it after someone you love; some people even go as far as buying twin stars.

There are reputable star naming outfits online that specialize in identifying and naming stars on behalf of their clients. They will not only name a star in any name you want, but they will also issue a certificate to that effect to serve as evidence.

If you hire an outfit that has a standing relationship like Harvard Astronomy or NASA, the value of the certificate you issue will only increase in sentimental value. And the mere fact that there are millions of stars above, their pool is not oversubscribed anytime soon.

How Much Will It Cost To Buy A Star Name?

If you have decided to name a star, you should want to know how much it will cost. Firstly, you should know that there are different stars and they are priced differently. Secondly, the outfit you buy the star name from will determine the price. So how much will it cost?

It will cost you between $35-$80 to buy one. One star constellations are the least expensive, while two side by side stars (twin stars) are more expensive; twin stars are perfect for couples. Then we have Supernova stars which are bigger and brighter than the average star. Supernova stars are more expensive to name and will cost north of $70.

Conclusion

Buying a star in honor of a special person in your life is a kind and warming gesture they will understand. But ensure that you only buy from a reputable outfit.
