From our small world we
have gazed upon the cosmic ocean for thousands of
years. Ancient astronomers observed points of light
that appeared to move among the stars. They called
these objects planets, meaning wanderers, and named
them after Roman deities - Jupiter, king of the
Gods; Mars, the God of war; Mercury, messenger of
the Gods; Venus, the God of love and beauty, and
Saturn, father of Jupiter and God of agriculture.
The stargazers also
observed comets with sparkling tails, and meteors
or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky.
Since the invention of the telescope, three more
planets have been discovered in our solar system.
The science of astronomy is ever expanding.

materials.
Then it's on to our sun,
moon and planets, where you will learn their
distance from us and amazing facts about each of
these bodies, and then beyond to study the
meteoroids, asteroids and comets and ending up at
the stars and constellations with star maps for

Please note: 'Your Name In The Stars' Certificate Is A Novelty Gift.
Star naming by any organization other than the IAU is not recognized by the scientific community. Your star’s name is reserved in your records only.
The only authority (by international agreement) that can name or approve the names of objects in space (stars, planets, moons, etc.) is the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and they will not recognize unofficial star names.
