Product description:

Only a small number of stars in our sky actually have names allocated to them. The majority are nameless and are distinguished only by their catalogue number. This gift box contains the details of one of these unnamed stars just waiting to be named by you. On the Star Details Form is information about your star including your star’s Right Ascension and Declination. These are the co-ordinates that relate to the location of your star in the sky. Use these co-ordinates and the ‘5 Steps to Locating Your Star’ sheet to find the exact position of your star on the enclosed wall map.

Naming your star is easy. You can either complete the process online or fill in and return the lower section of your Gift Registration Instructions. You are required to enter your star name and your contact 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 to ensure the list is available to as many people as possible and preserved for as long as possible.
