What Buying a Star Means
When you buy a star gift, you create a personal connection between a chosen name and a specific star. The name, date and dedication are recorded as a private registry entry, and the recipient receives a certificate with star details and coordinates. This makes the gift easy to give, meaningful to keep and simple to access through the app.
Certificate, Registry Entry and App Access
