Astronomy Blog reminds us: Don’t name a star

By Michael on May 6, 2008 at 1:17 am | In Blog Posts |

Stuart over at Astronomy Blog tackles and tackles again the reasons why you should not pay to “name a star” for yourself or a loved one. While it can be heartfelt to want to memorialize someone by naming a star, you can do that without sending a check to shady unofficial organizations.

Hell, just email us and we’ll help you pick out a great star. You want something hot? Massive? With or without a companion? Would you like an accretion disk with that? Or some planets perhaps?

Go ahead, name a star. Just don’t pay for it.
