A place to look up and remember

Named in Light lets you name a real star in the night sky in memory of someone you've lost, a parent, a wife or husband, a child, a friend or a beloved pet, and gives your family a memorial page to return to.

Every star comes from a scientific catalogue, with its true position, brightness and colour. The name you give it is a personal tribute, recorded on Named in Light and shared with the people you choose. It isn't an official astronomical name; read our FAQ for the details.
