Questions, answered straight

Is a star a good birthday gift?+
It is memorable, personal, and unlike anything else they’ll unwrap, which is exactly why people choose it for milestone birthdays especially.
Can I get it in time for the party?+
Yes. It is all digital and instant, so even a same-day gift works. Print the certificate to bring along, or send a reveal email timed to arrive on their birthday.
Is the star officially named after them?+
Their name is recorded in the Caelum Registry and never given to anyone else. A genuine keepsake. It is not an official IAU scientific name; only the International Astronomical Union can name stars officially.
The honest bit. Caelum is a keepsake. Naming a star with us is symbolic and is not an official or scientific naming. Only the International Astronomical Union can do that, and no company can sell that right. What you get is a real, catalogued star, a name recorded in the Caelum Registry that is never given to anyone else, and a certificate to treasure. More on this.
