Star register
The star register is a public register that includes all stars that have been named in the Online Star Register. When you name a star, it is registered forever and will shine in the sky for millions of years to come. Your star is visualized directly on the page with special software, where you are able to see the universe surrounding your star.
Enter your unique OSR registration code and instantly find the following essential information about your star.
Star name and registration code
You will receive a unique OSR Code when naming a star, so each named star has a special registration code. Our registration code consists of letters and numbers, for example LPR805246. Different star registrations with the same star name may occur, for example Starry. Nevertheless, the star coordinate and registration code are always unique and can only be included in the star register once. Now you will be able to name a star for that special someone! Or you can name it after yourself and your partner.
Star coordinates
The register also indicates your stars coordinates. Your star coordinates contain numbers and letters. RA indicates Right Ascension and dec indicates declination. They are similar to latitude and longitude, but they relate to coordinates in the sky. Mag stands for magnitude, which indicates the brightness of the star. Use these coordinates to determine where your star is located on the OSR Star Map found in the OSR Gift Pack.
Constellation
The star register also shows your chosen constellation. Your star coordinates are based on the constellation you chose in the order form. In astronomy a constellation is a collection of stars that form a pattern in a variety of figures. Some constellations are part of the zodiac, such as the Aries and the Leo. These are part of astrology, which is used to calculate your horoscope. When naming a star you can choose from 88 constellations, including the zodiac signs. Just keep in mind you cannot see all constellations from where you are, as some constellations are visible from the northern hemisphere and others are visible from the southern hemisphere.
Occasion
The occasion for which you have named the star is also displayed in the register. You can choose from 16 different occasions, each with a special theme. Celebrate love or the birth of a new baby by giving a star. Don’t have a special occasion to name a star for, but still want to give a star to someone special? We offer a general Gift Pack suited for all gift occasions. Our 16 occasions come with beautifully designed theme papers, both in the digital package and in the package sent by post. The Gift Packs are also available in 20 different languages. You can find the occasion displayed in the register in the language you selected for your Gift Pack.
The star register will be updated within a few seconds, so your star can be found in the register and via the various apps immediately. Visualize your star at any time using our special stargazing apps.
