Episode 153: Is it Worth Buying and Naming a Star?

  •  Scenario 1: Georgia found a Name A Star site that offers naming stars from free. The free plan comes with registration and an online customizable certificate. She could also get the premium plan for $40 and get everything in the free plan plus a gorgeous framed certificate. Should she splurge for the premium plan?
  • Scenario 2: A’Lelia wants to surprise her father with a gift he would never expect. Her father is an astronomer, so she thinks it would be great to buy a star for him. Is this a great idea or would her money be better spent elsewhere on this scientist of a dad?

  • Scenario 3: Matlin really loves the Orion constellation, since it can be seen throughout the world. She figures everyone will know her name when they look up at the night sky. The only problem is none of the current star registries have any stars in that constellation available. Should she throw away her dreams or create a new star registry so she can name the star she really desires.
