Why it is meaningful for a new family

A birth dedication can become part of a family archive: the child’s exact name and first date are preserved without inventing an astronomical name.

A real star is selected from our internal astronomical catalogue and remains identified by its scientific catalogue designation. Your chosen name belongs only to the dedication in the A Star For You Private Registry.

The certificate records the birth date and the sky map shows the region around the connected star. The family’s own message remains as entered.

You review the certificate and sky map before checkout. The service is symbolic: it does not transfer ownership of a celestial object or change an official astronomical designation.

What the recipient receives

The family receives a lasting record of the child’s name, first date and the words written for their future.

Four digital documents

A dedication certificate, astronomical dossier, sky map and observation guide present the personal message alongside verified catalogue data.
