Description

 

Only a small number of stars in our sky actually have names allocated to them; the majority are nameless and are distinguished by their catalogue number only. Your gift box contains the details of one of these unnamed stars that is ready for naming by you.

On your Star Details Form is information about your star; two of these references being your star's Right Ascension and Declination. These are the co-ordinates that relate to the exact position of your star in the sky. Just use these co-ordinates and the instructions on your '5 Steps to Locating Your Star sheet to find the exact location of your star on the huge wall map enclosed.

Naming your star is easy; you can either complete the process online or fill in and return the lower section of your Star Registration Form. You are required to enter your star name, your contact and delivery details. This is then entered into the Star Registry and you are sent a certificate confirming your star registration.

This information will then be periodically submitted to the British Library.

Name a star is a lovely thought for someone. The presentation is nice enough and comes with a sky map (wall chart) to find your map as well as some details to get your star registered online.
The map we got told us our star was only visable at the equator, but this is wrong as further research shows it is viewable (with equipment) from the UK.
The other thing to bare in mind is that athough the star is registered british library (or something like that) it really means nothing and it's worthwhile mentioning that no scientist is going to be calling your star the name you chose. It really is just the sentiment.
