Q: My mom and dad think this is a scam,but is it really? please be honest, I'll get it anyway,because it is so cool!
A: No, the Name a Star gift box is not a scam. The recipient really does get to name a star! Since a star is not a tangible item that can be "bought" (but it can be named!) and ownership cannot be assigned to a star, this personalized gift is of emotional rather than scientific worth.

Q: If I name a star with you can someone name the same star with another company, or do all of you keep track of the stars being named in one database.
A: When you register your star name, either online or through the mail, it is cataloged at the British Library. Due to the infinite number of stars in the sky, and the fact that new stars are discovered all the time, it is highly unlikely that two people will end up naming the same star.

Q: Can I specify a star in a constellation or a hemisphere? I live in the northern hemisphere and would not want to name a star I could not "see" from my location.
A: The co-ordinates received are random and although the manufacturer always asks for stars in the Northern Hemisphere, they have to accept what they are given. All of the stars they currently have are in the Equatorial Region.

Q: When given as a gift will the person that receives the gift have to pay any other charges and what does the certificate look like and can it be framed
A: The recipient will not need to pay any charges whatsoever. They don't even need to buy postage to mail their registration sheet because it can be filled out online. The Star Deed certificate has an ornate blue boarder and a seal on it. It is definitely frame-worthy.
