Why a star?

Every option registers a real, catalogued star forever and arrives in minutes, beautifully designed, ready to print or send. No shipping, no waiting, anywhere in the world.

A keepsake for the life ahead

Most baby gifts are outgrown in a season. A star with their name is something they’ll still have at 5, 15, and 50.

A first, lasting heirloom

Recorded in the registry in perpetuity under their name. A quiet little piece of the sky to pass down.

Perfect for the nursery wall

Print the certificate and star chart for a piece of nursery art with real meaning, and real coordinates.

Questions, answered straight

Is naming a star a good new-baby or christening gift?+
Wonderfully so. It is heartfelt, keepsake-quality, and unlike anything else they’ll receive. People give it for births, christenings, and naming days alike.
Can I give it before the baby has a name?+
Of course, you can name the star later. Some people register the star at the birth and add the chosen name once it is decided; just reach out and we’ll help.
Is it an official star name?+
It is a genuine, lasting keepsake recorded in the Caelum Registry under the baby’s name, never given to anyone else. It is not an official IAU scientific name. Only the IAU can do that.
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.
