Can You Really Buy a Star in the Sky?
Wondering if you can buy a star in the sky? Discover how star naming works and why dedicating a star with OSR is a meaningful gift.
Looking up at the vast night sky, it’s easy to dream about owning a star. The idea of owning a star is certainly a romantic and intriguing one, but is it actually possible? The truth is no, no one can officially buy a star in the sky. But thanks to the Online Star Register, you can still dedicate one to someone special! Let’s explore how this works and why it makes such a thoughtful gift.
Can You Own a Star?
Scientifically speaking, stars are celestial bodies that exist millions or even billions of light-years away. They only belong to the universe itself and are catalogued by astronomers for study. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is the only organisation that assigns official designations to stars, primarily using numerical coordinates.
However, while you can’t legally own a star, you can symbolically name one. That’s where OSR comes in! With one of our special gift packs, you can create a heartfelt and lasting tribute by dedicating a star with a personalised name and message.

What Makes Star Naming a Special Gift?
Dedicating a star is a truly unique and personal way to celebrate special moments. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, memorial, or any heartfelt occasion, a named star carries deep sentimental value.
A Unique and Personal Gift
Unlike traditional gifts, a named star is one-of-a-kind and holds a timeless emotional connection. It’s a wonderful way to show someone how much they mean to you, offering a symbolic place in the cosmos that they can cherish forever.
Eternal Registration
Once you name a star with OSR, it is recorded in our Online Star Register, ensuring that the dedication lasts a lifetime. The recipient will always have a special place in the universe linked to their name, creating a lasting tribute that can be passed down through generations.
Exclusive Digital Tools
OSR enhances the experience by providing interactive tools, including the OSR Star Finder App. This app allows recipients to easily locate their star in the night sky, adding a fun and educational element to the gift. They can explore constellations, track their star’s position, and even view it in augmented reality.
Customisable Options
Every star-naming package includes personalisation options, from custom messages to choosing a preferred constellation. Whether you want to dedicate a star in memory of a loved one or celebrate a special moment, OSR makes it easy to tailor the gift to your needs.
