About This Business

The International Star Registry originated the concept of naming stars in 1979. It allows customers to christen a star in the sky with the name of someone special, be it a spouse, child, family member, or friend, and records the new name with the star's telescopic coordinates in the book "Your Place in the Cosmos" which is recorded in the United States copyright office. Each unique star is only named once. The gift package can be ordered either framed or unframed, with the new star name, the dedication date, and the telescopic coordinates of that unique star. The book, "Your Place in the Cosmos," is the only published catalog of star names in the world. It is copyrighted so that others can look up the star name along with its location. This listing is not, nor is it intended to be, recognized by the scientific community, but it is protected by copyright law.

Products and Services

This company offers personalized parchment certificates which contain a star's name - chosen by the consumer - along with the star's coordinates and a map of where the star can be found in the sky. The star-naming certificates are novelty gifts, however, and are not real certificates which are recognized by the scientific community or used by it. The star names are recorded in a book which belongs to the company and is copyrighted by it, and consumers should keep in mind that the copyright protects the rights of the company; it does not imply that the U.S. government endorses or vouches for the book's contents. The star name certificates are for entertainment purposes only, and International Star Registry is not a recognized authority to name and designate stars. The company does provide this disclaimer and explains these issues on its website.
