Can You Really Buy a Star in the Sky?
When it comes to finding a gift for that special someone, it can be terribly hard trying to figure out what to buy.
What do you get for the man who has everything? What can you possibly purchase to put a smile on the face of the woman in your life who has everything? That's where the idea of buying a star in the sky comes in.
In this consumer-driven society, most of us have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years.
Most homeowners, for instance, pay for paid storage units so that they can store furniture and belongings that they don't have room for in their own homes.
And if you live in an apartment, storage room for all your goodies can be really scarce.
And yet, it's very nice to receive a thoughtful gift when it's your birthday, anniversary, or graduation.
It can be deeply meaningful to receive a gift from your sweetheart at Valentine's Day.
And it can be extremely moving to receive a donation in the name of a loved one who has passed, such as when people make a donation to your parent's favorite charity after that parent has passed on.
If you want to find a truly unique gift, you might consider buying a star in the sky for someone.
Actually, you're not really buying a star.
Technically speaking, you would simply be registering that star in the name of a loved one.
You would do this through one of the star registries responsible for maintaining registers listing a huge number of stars throughout our Milky Way galaxy.
If you want to buy a star, you would adopt that star through one of these agencies.
You can do it for a living person such as a child or sweetheart.
If you do this, you'd receive a special star chart showing you where that star in located in the sky, plus most registry organizations will also include some other fun things within the star kit you receive.
But you can also register a star in the name of a loved one who has passed away.
This can be a lovely way to honor someone who made a big impact on your life.
If you have a teacher or mentor who helped you in a huge way, you could consider buying a star in that person's name.
Registering a star for someone is a nice way to provide a lasting testament to the special place that person will always have in your heart.
Keep in mind that you're not actually buying a star, so you don't receive a deed or any legally binding document.
You are registering the star or naming the star, more like adopting a highway where you pay money and then can name a portion of that highway after a person.
Also, it's important to note that NASA does not involve itself in registering stars, so you won't be able to buy a star through NASA.
Your star adoption won't be recognized in any official government documents.
Still, if you have a child who loves astronomy or a friend or loved one who has always been fascinated by the stars, adopting a star in their honor can be a wonderful way to enhance their passion for the mysterious manifestations of our universe.
Imagine having your very own star chart that shows a star half a galaxy away that has been registered in your name.
Humans have long been fascinated by the mysteries of the stars and the complexities of this beautiful Milky Way galaxy we call home.
With your very own star kit, you can continue to nurture that passion for learning more about this beautiful and mysterious part of space which we humans are very blessed to inhabit.
