in loving memory

A light that stays. Name a star in their memory.

When someone we love is gone, we look for a way to keep them close. Naming a real star after them is a quiet, lasting tribute. Somewhere to look up to, with their name held in the registry for good.

Questions, answered straight

Is naming a star a fitting memorial?+
Many people find it a gentle, meaningful way to remember someone. A small, permanent tribute to look up to, and a keepsake to keep close or share with family.
Can I name it after someone who passed some time ago?+
Absolutely. There is no timeframe. People name stars for loved ones lost recently and many years ago alike. The dedication can be anything you would like it to say.
Is this an official naming?+
It is a heartfelt keepsake recorded in the Caelum Registry under their name, kept in perpetuity and never reissued. It is not an official scientific name. Only the International Astronomical Union names stars officially, and we would never claim otherwise.
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.
