Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to buy a star?
The cost varies depending on the star-naming company and the type of star package you choose. Prices typically range from $30 to $100, depending on the package and additional features of your choice.
Will the star I name be visible from my location?
Yes, we choose a star based on your delivery location so it is visible from your area. However, keep in mind that star visibility also depends on factors such as the time of year, light pollution, and the chosen brightness of the star.
Is star registration legitimate?
Yes, star registration or star naming is legitimate. No national or international laws prohibit these activities. Private companies with online star databases are legally allowed to offer star naming services for a fee.
How do I find the star I bought in the night sky?
Starregistration.net provides a star finder app where you can enter your registration number from the certificate to see the exact location in the night sky. Additionally, you can check the official star database we use for registering your star, allowing you to look up your star in the database.
Do I legally own my Star?
No, according to the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, no one can legally own celestial bodies, including stars. Stars are massive, distant balls of gas, making legal ownership impossible. However, star-naming through companies offers the same symbolic gesture that even celebrities use, making it a unique and special way to commemorate someone or something.
