Honest answers

A few things people ask.

Is the star really registered? +

Yes. We assign one of 50,000+ catalogued stars with verifiable RA/Dec coordinates. The naming is a private registration through Still Shining — not an IAU change (no commercial body can do that). What you receive is real, and yours.

How is this different from "buying land on the moon"? +

Honestly? Both are symbolic. The difference: you can see your star. We send you the exact coordinates so you can look up tonight, from your backyard, and know which one it is. That's what makes it feel real.

Can I find the star with my phone? +

Yes. Included with every star is access to our sky finder — a web app, no download needed. On any clear night, open it on your phone, point it at the sky, and it guides you straight to your star. Wherever you are in the world, whenever you need to find them.

Is there a subscription, or do I pay once? +

One payment. $59 AUD. The star stays named, forever. No annual fees, no renewals. If we ever shut down, your certificate and coordinates are still yours.

Their star is up there
tonight.

Name it. So you know where to look.
