Star Register
Star Register is a company that offers the service of naming stars for individuals or groups who wish to dedicate a celestial body as a unique gift or commemorative act. Customers can select a star, give it a name, and receive a certificate or gift package that signifies their chosen star's name and celestial coordinates. While the company promotes this service as a novel and personal way of connecting with the cosmos, it is important to note that such names are not officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the global authority responsible for naming celestial bodies. The history of Star Register and similar companies spans several decades, capitalizing on public fascination with space and the stars. Despite the lack of formal scientific recognition, these services remain popular for personal and gift-giving purposes.
