When you wish upon a star you personally named, it will at least have the decency to write a letter explaining that it has no power over events on Earth. Make a fiery friend with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

Within minutes of naming a star and penning a dedication message, astro-enthusiasts receive a digital certificate indicating the new nomenclature and telescopic coordinates and a star chart that pins down its location in the night sky. At some point over the next year, the name and message will be loaded onto a rocket ship and launched into space, at which time clients will receive a launch certificate. This gift set also includes an informative ebook that covers such topics as sunspots, black holes, dark matter, and when we can expect Star Trek to come true.

On top of everything listed above, the premium gift set also contains a full-colour astrophotograph that shows your star's constellation and an inset showing the star in relation to its neighbours. This photograph is produced within one business day and delivered via email. This package also includes the Virtual Planetarium astronomy software, which features NASA images, online resources, 3-D photos of Mars, and an easy way to locate your star.

Name A Star Live

Name A Star Live is a branch of Space Services, Inc., an undisputed pioneer in commercial space flight. Space Services has been launching satellites and mounting extraterrestrial missions since 1981. They’ve also delivered roughly 10,000 messages and an asteroid made entirely of freeze-dried ice cream to the astronauts on the International Space Station. In 1995, the business began providing orbital services to the global public, and sends up new stellar names and messages with every rocket launch.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
