The star naming certificate is not a legal document, but it is a meaningful and personal way to commemorate a special moment, person, or memory.

You can give your star whatever name you wish. It should be between 2 and 25 characters.

No, all the stars are named just once in our registry. It means that a star with specific star co-ordinates will be attributed only once in our star registry, From the Sky® Registry.  With billions of stars in the universe, the star you name will be unique to you in our star registry.

Star naming is the process of assigning a name to a star in the sky. It is a unique and personal way to immortalise a special moment, memory, or person. Naming a star is an online gift service where any individual can symbolically attribute a name to a star from our star catalogue. The name will be registered in our star registry and you will receive a gift certificate of attribution which can be electronic or printed.

Scientists all over the world name stars in astronomical star catalogues such as the Hipparcos catalogue. Generally, astronomers give stars numbers rather than names to make identifying them easier. Though so of the brighter stars have ancient Arabic names. Naming your star is a symbolic gesture and is not recognised by the International Astronomical Union or the wider scientific community. All the information about your star is kept only in our registry, EStarRegistry. We can’t provide any legal attribution to the stars. Star Naming is a symbolic gift service.

At From the Sky® Registry, every time a star is named on our website, we handle the order and document the star registration in our database. Our registry is a commercially managed system, where star names are recorded, managed, and monitored.

Our star registry is based on the Hipparcos catalogue, a scientific database of numbered stars. We associate a unique name to each star number in the catalogue.

Star coordinates are a set of numerical values that describe the position of a star in the sky. They help astronomers locate and identify stars and are usually expressed in Right Ascension and Declination, or longitude and latitude on the celestial sphere. These coordinates allow you to locate your named star in the night sky and serve as a unique identifier for each star.

We include star coordinates in your star registration certificate and star information sheet.

Check our guide to learn more about Right Ascension and Declination.
