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.
Please note this provides you with the location of your star in the night sky in relation to other constelations and major stars and not an actual picture of your star.

Naming your star is easy; you can either complete the process online ( everything you need to do this is included in the pack ) or alternatively fill in and return the lower section of your Star Registration Form and send it via post . You are required to enter your star name, your contact and delivery details. This is then entered into the Star Registry in the British Library,and you are sent a certificate confirming your star registration.

FAQ’s
Question: Seriously, can I name the star anything I want? For instance, can I name my star "Jedward Forever"?
Answer: Yes, you can name your star anything you want. There are absolutely zero restrictions for the name. So, there's no one to stop you from naming a billion-year-old celestial body after a boy band.
Question.How long does it take to receive my confirmation certificate?
Answer This depends on how you choose to register your star. If you register online then you will receive your star confirmation certificate within 10 working days. If you fill out and return your form by post then this period of time is slightly increased to 28 days. How long do I have to register my gift? Your gift code expires 12 months after the date of purchase so you have 12 months in which to register your gift.
Question: Will scientists be required to use my star's name?
Answer: No. We wouldn't expect someone with a PhD in Astrophysics to be required to call that billion-year-old celestial body,
"I love Jedward".

Remember its the thought that counts.

Delighted to report I got a fantastic reaction from my daughter Jessie for the Name a Star present I gave her for her birthday. She still can't believe that there's a star named after her.
