Online Star registry
Hey Folks,
Recently I've found an internet site which enables me to name a star as a gift for a friend. Could someone tell me if " Online Star Register" is a real scientific register or a fake virtual star register just to get money out of it. The costs for registration are about USD 40,-. Thank you for your advice in advance. See following link: http://www.onlinestarregister.com/index.php Regards, Wim |

You can do the same thing on your home printer if you're a little creative. Save your money for real gifts. |

The IAU (International Astronomical Union) is the only body that can give an astronomical object a name that is officially recognized by the scientific community. Such names are under no circumstances sold.

I found this on the site: Legal Notice . Warning: GalaxysRus has filed notice with the American, Russian and Chinese governents that GalaxysRus are the only legitimate source of Freehold Galactic Title Deeds, any attempt by any persons anywhere to copy or otherwise infringe on this will prosecuted. I think the inhabitants might have something to say about this. |
