Will my star name be used by astronomers?
No. Scientists use astronomical coordinates to identify and locate stars.
It is not possible to actually own a stellar object as nobody (or everybody,
depending on your way of looking at it) has ownership. A star is essentially
a ball of boiling gas trillions of miles away, so ownership is hardly
a viable option anyway!
Will my star be unique to me?
Absolutely. Each star name will be filed and registered once only. The
star name will be filed in a Registry Vault and recorded in a book, which
is registered in the copyright office of the United States of America.
What is a star?
Stars are huge balls of hot, glowing gases. Our sun is a star. It is just
an ordinary star, not the biggest nor the brightest. But the sun is the
star that is nearest to our planet Earth. Earth is part of the sun's family
of planets, moons, and comets called the Solar System. All of the other
stars that we see in the sky are much farther away from Earth.
Long ago people were already naming the brightest stars in the sky and
learning where and when to look for them. They also gave names to the
constellations, groups of stars that seem to form patterns in the sky.
Usually these constellations were named after gods, heroes or animals.
Is a black hole a star?
Some stars are gigantic compared to others. When a massive star like this
cools and collapses, it turns into something very special. The matter
is crushed and compressed by the huge weight of the collapsing gases.
Gravity keeps squeezing and squeezing until the star seems to disappear.
It has become a black hole. Anything passing too close to a black hole
- even light rays - will be pulled into it and never escape again. That
is why a black hole is invisible. Scientists, however, are certain that
they have located several black holes in the universe.
