Name a Star (Unframed)

Points: 2000

An original and symbolic gift idea

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?

Notes

This pack includes an introductory card or letter, an A4 star area coordinates sheet showing the location of your star, a Guide to Northern Constellations book, a Philips star chart and a registration card which must be returned to the given address to receive your A4 personalised certificate with star name, area coordinates and constellation, all presented in a gift tin. On placing your order, the gift will be dispatched to the address of your choice within 5 working days. We are unable to guarantee a delivery date. We suggest you get it delivered to a work address as it won’t fit though a letterbox. Please note this is a novelty gift and stars retain their scientific name.
