Do you want to know how to name a star? Here are a few steps you may find useful.

STEP 1: Find a star naming company. These companies, which are typically found online, allow you to name a star for a certain cost. The names of the stars are then compiled and published in a book. However, it is important to remember that the name you pick will not be recognized by any astronomical organization.

STEP 2: Choose your star. Some star naming companies give you the option of choosing the constellation of your star, and occasionally, the specific star you want. You will then be given the coordinates of your star.

STEP 3: Choose your star’s name. Search the company’s online database to discover if any other star has the same name. Usually, your star’s name can be made up of letters and numbers, with a maximum number of characters.

STEP 4: Order the package. Online star naming packages are usually composed of a certificate printed on a parchment, a sky chart and occasionally, a brochure on astronomy. The certificate contains the name and coordinates of your star, and the date it was bought. The cost varies, depending on the package you choose.

When dealing with star naming companies, remember that only specific scientific organizations can officially name stars and other heavenly bodies. Also, remember that the coordinates given to you may not be exactly accurate. This can give you hard time locating your star, or worse, will point you to a different star altogether. However, if you are still intent on learning how to name a star and going through with the process, there are numerous websites that are more than willing to offer their services. Once you know how to name a star, the rest of the process is easy and can be accomplished online.
