Put their
name in the heavens and give them a piece of immortality.
Your Place in the Cosmos
The compendium of names and their astronomical coordinates are
published in the series of hardback astronomy books called 'Your
Place in the Cosmos' by James E. Magee.
Updated volumes list all additions to the growing fraternity of
people immortalised by having a star named in their honour.
 The
accompanying text gives a delightful history of the constellations,
and philosophical insights of the author. On file in the U.S.
Copyright Office in Washington DC, copies of each volume are also
stored in ISR's Swiss bank vault and held in libraries around the
world.
Registering stars by name is of both personal and historical
significance. Generations to come will be able to look up the
Starname and locate the star in the night skies.
And that is a beautiful thought, isn't
it?
