Frequently Asked Questions
Your digital certificate is delivered by email within minutes of ordering — perfect for last-minute gifts. Every package also includes a framed certificate poster, printed to order with free shipping. Due to exceptionally high demand right now, physical orders are taking about two weeks to enter production; after that they typically arrive within 5–7 business days (engraved pendants on Deluxe and Binary Deluxe can take a little longer). We'll email you tracking the moment yours ships.
Yes — Deluxe, Binary, and Binary Deluxe packages draw from bright, naked-eye-visible stars (magnitude 5.5 or brighter) and your star map shows exactly where to look. Standard packages reference real cataloged stars that may require binoculars or a telescope.
Every registration includes the star's Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec) in the standard J2000 epoch, plus its visual magnitude and constellation — the same coordinate system professional astronomers use. You can verify the location with any star chart or astronomy app.
Absolutely — memorial dedications are one of our most popular gifts. Many families choose a star to honor a loved one, and the dedication message on the certificate becomes a lasting tribute you can revisit every clear night.
Yes. During personalization you can pick any of the 88 recognized constellations, and we'll assign your star from that region of the sky. Deluxe, Binary, and Binary Deluxe packages draw from visible stars in your chosen constellation.
The Binary package registers two stars orbiting one another — a real binary star system — under one shared dedication. It includes a framed certificate poster showing both stars, two star maps, and registry entries for both stars. Binary Deluxe adds an engraved pendant necklace carrying both stars' names and coordinates.
Yes. Visit the Registry Lookup page and search by the star name or the registration ID printed on the certificate. You'll see the cataloged coordinates, magnitude, constellation, registration date, and the custom dedication.
The Star Registry is a novelty gift service. Your star name is recorded in our private registry archive for symbolic, keepsake purposes — it is not recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), NASA, or any scientific body, and no commercial registry can confer official astronomical naming rights. The coordinates, however, point to real cataloged stars.
