When it comes to finding a gift for that special someone, it can be terribly difficult to figure out what to buy. What do you get for the man who has everything? What can you buy to put a smile on the face of the woman in your life who has everything? That’s where the idea of buying a star in the sky comes in.
In this consumer driven society, most of us have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years. Most homeowners, for example, pay for paid storage units so they can store furniture and belongings that they don’t have space for in their own homes. And if you live in an apartment, storage space for all your goods can be at a premium.
And yet, it’s so nice to receive a thoughtful gift when it’s your birthday, anniversary, or graduation. It can be deeply meaningful to receive a gift from your partner on Valentine’s Day. And it can be extremely moving to receive a donation on behalf of a loved one who has passed away, such as when people make a donation to their parents’ favorite charity after those parents have passed away.
If you want to find a truly unique gift, you might consider buying a star in the sky for someone. Actually, you’re not actually buying a star. Technically speaking, you would simply be registering that star in the name of a loved one. It would do this through one of the star registries responsible for keeping records that list a large number of stars throughout our galaxy, the Milky Way.
If you want to buy a star, you would adopt that star through one of these agencies. You can do it for a living person, such as a child or a love. If you do this, you’ll receive a special star chart that shows you where that star is in the sky, plus most registry organizations will also include other fun things inside the star kit you receive.
But you can also register a star in the name of a loved one who has passed away. This can be a lovely way to honor someone who made a big impact in your life. If you have a teacher or mentor who helped you a lot, you might consider buying a star in that person’s name. Registering a star for someone is a great way to provide a lasting testament to the special place that person will always have in their heart.
Please note that you are not actually purchasing a star, so you are not receiving a deed or any legally binding documents. You’re registering the star or naming the star, more like adopting a road where you pay money and then you can name a part of that road after a person.
Also, it’s important to note that NASA is not involved in the star registry, so you will not be able to purchase a star through NASA. Your adoption of stars will not be recognized in any official government document.
Still, if you have a child who loves astronomy or a friend or loved one who has always been fascinated by the stars, adopting a star in their honor can be a wonderful way to increase their passion for the mysterious manifestations of our universe. Imagine having your own star map showing a star half a galaxy away that has been registered in your name.
Humans have long been fascinated by the mysteries of the stars and the intricacies of this beautiful galaxy, the Milky Way, which we call home. With your own Star Kit, you can continue to fuel that passion to learn more about this beautiful and mysterious part of space that humans are so blessed to inhabit.
