How to name a star
How I did it: According to the International Astronomincal Union who offically name stars. " Some commercial enterprises purport to offer such services for a fee. However, such "names" have no formal or official validity whatever"
"As an international scientific organization, the IAU dissociates itself entirely from the commercial practice of "selling" fictitious star names or "real estate" on other planets or moons in the Solar System. "
Basicly there are companies who will take your money and give you a really expensive piece of paper.
I really wanted to name a star after my late mother. Although I am dissapointed I will find another way to memorialize her. Maybe a bench somewhere she loved.
Lessons & tips: Don't pay a lot of money for a piece of paper.
