how to buy a star nasa

Hello! Well, the reality is a bit different. No one can actually 'own' or 'buy' a star, not even through NASA. Stars are celestial bodies and they cannot be owned, according to international law.

Yes, there are indeed several organizations that offer the opportunity to 'buy' a star. What they offer is a chance to name a star. They'll provide a certificate and coordinates for the star. But you should be aware this naming stands only within their respective registries and are not officially or scientifically recognized. Officially named stars have their names assigned by the International Astronomical Union.

Good question! The responsibility for naming celestial bodies and phenomena does not lie with NASA. Instead, the International Astronomical Union, which is a global organization of professional astronomers, has been the recognized authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies since 1919.
