Dedicate a Galaxy
... or a Nebula, or a star cluster, or an extraordinary star
Name a whole galaxy or a notable star that is not part of our regular naming program. We give away those objects only once, unlike many other star registers that give away the same super bright stars over and over again. The uniqueness of our stars is proven with an NFT in the Ethereum block chain, based on the unique Staracle Stellar Smart Contract.

Non-Fungible Tokens
At Staracle, you can now underline the personal nature and uniqueness of your star with a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). While many other star naming services give away the same stars over and over again, Staracle is proud to only offer unique stars. An NFT is an additional tamper-proof certificate for the uniqueness of your star. It is a digital asset, a wonderful upgrade to prove the uniqueness of your star. Click here to find out more!
Besides NFTs for your personal stars, you can obtain NFTs for many super-bright stars and other famous astronomical objects on Staracle that you would otherwise not be able to name. Our NFTs are documented in the Ethereum blockchain with the Staracle Stellar Smart Contract. Even better: All our NFTs are digital assets according to the ERC721 standard and can be traded on platforms like opensea.io.
Quality Print Products
Our museum quality Glicée prints are of highest quality and are ready to adorn any room. Accompanied by a coffee mug with a star chart that marks your star, it is the perfect star combo to have your star with you in every coffee break. Check out all of our products.
Are you looking for a gift for a very special person? Our high-quality fine-art prints are printed on Ultra Premium Luster Photo Paper and are ready to adorn any room. Choose among our large selection of premium photos and have a framed or non-framed fine-art print delivered right to your place.
There are a few other good alternatives to commercial star naming. The Adopt a Star program lets you adopt a star while your money will be donated to astronomy research. So your money is well spent! If you are in a German speaking country, consider naming a star for free with sterntaufe.astronomie.at, a free alternative by the Arbeitskreis Salzkammergut in Austria.
