Name a Star Package (A3 Pack).
Location:UK Wide Delivery
An original and symbolic gift idea. Present that someone special with a star in their name.
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...?
Once your loved one has received their Name a Star voucher, they will then contact the Registrar to order the gift set and choose their own star name and constellation. Please allow 14 days for delivery of the gift pack once you have selected which constellation you want the star to be in after receiving the voucher.
On purchasing this gift you will be sent an open dated gift voucher with 10 months validity which is redeemable for the gift set. 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. 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. |
