Dedicate a Superbright Star

... or a Nebula, or a star cluster, or a galaxy

NFT icon
Name a whole galaxy or a notable star that is not part of our regular naming program. We give away those objects only once, unlike many other star registers that give away the same super bright stars over and over again. The uniqueness of our stars is proven with an NFT in the Ethereum Staracle Stellar Smart Contract. Find out more!

Alternatives

There are a few other good alternatives to commercial star naming. The Adopt a Star program lets you adopt a star while your money will be donated to astronomy research. So your money is well spent! If you are in a German speaking country, consider naming a star for free with sterntaufe.astronomie.at, a free alternative by the Arbeitskreis Salzkammergut in Austria.
