In a Nutshell

Astronomy buffs can name and dedicate a star with any message they'd like, and receive charts and software to help find the pet gas ball

The Fine Print

  • Expires Jun 5, 2013
  • Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Online only.
  • See the rules that apply to all deals.

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 downloadable 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 downloadable e-book 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-color astrophotograph that shows your star's constellation and an inset showing the star in relation to its neighbors. This photograph is produced within one business day and delivered via email. This package also includes the downloadable 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: Astronaut Skills

Astronauts need to be world-class athletes, die-hard patriots, and scientific masterminds, but any montage of astronaut training also reveals these other crucial skills they possess:

  • Holding your breath for more than 30 seconds, even if someone is trying to make you laugh
  • Saying "Tang tastes as good as orange juice" with a straight face
  • Being blessed with particularly flappable cheeks
  • Juggling three beanbags at once (if you're that good on Earth, imagine how good you'll be without gravity!)
  • Being bald or having very little hair (male astronauts only)
  • Naming all the planets in correct order in fewer than three tries
  • Providing their own space suit

Do you have the unexpected skills needed to be an unlikely astronaut? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
