General information about Celestial Name Database
Celestial Name Database is a non-governmental, non-profit and independent database from Europe. At the moment, we have one of the largest and the oldest online star name databases in the world. Moreover, the location of every celestial object in our database is recognized and approved by NASA.
Online Celestial Name Database has been authorized to issue star certificate documents (Star Certificate and Star Map) for every entry in the celestial name database ever made. Therefore, everyone will be able to find their star in our catalogues till the end of the time.
Celestial name database partners
In 2006 our database exceeded 50 000 unique records. Due to limited possibilities of adding more stars for a rapidly growing number of individuals interested in naming stars, in 2010, we had launched a program where commercial entities gained an opportunity to submit their applications to become our official partners. The following guaranteed businesses quick access to our celestial name database. In return, in the scope of the Partnership Program, the commercial websites have been monitored and audited monthly. All our partners are highly qualified specialists who use the latest technologies to ensure quick and safe star naming.
What is Star Celestial Name Database?
History of Names
From the second, the man laid eyes on the night sky, he/she felt the need to record the location of each astronomical object. In fact, scientists still refer to the most ancient cosmic guides presented by Ptolemy or Babylonian astronomers. International Astronomical Union has updated older star catalogues with the most recent discoveries in the field of astronomy. However, the IAU has created the list of star names for scientific purposes only. Therefore, approved stellar names are in a rigid format with no personal implications.
IAU Star Naming
Knowing that IAU does not offer registration services, astronomy enthusiasts and experts decided to create a unified and official database allowing anyone to leave their mark on the universe with celestial name database.
