Stjerne til kjæresten

[Avalon]

Først lurer jeg på om det er noen her som har kjøpt en stjerne til noen de er glade i? Mener da en stjerne på himmelen.

Så hvis noen her har gjort det eller kunne tenke seg å gjøre det, hva ville dere kalt stjernen?

Bare brukt navnet til vedkommende, et internt "kosenavn" e.l?

Men du forstår at det bare er på liksom? Du kjøper ikke stjernen og navnet blir heller ikke offisielt.

Q: All this sounds negative and grouchy. I love the stars and a very special person and want to do something for him/her. What can I do ?

A: Lots! Go to your nearest planetarium or local amateur or professional observatory. They are staffed with people who feel just the same. They often have stores with books with wonderful astronomy pictures from the ground or from space, or fine astronomy magazines that all make great gifts. They can also direct you to the local astronomy club or society where enthusiasts will be happy to show you (and your friend!) the real stars through their own telescopes. Maybe you'll get infected and end up buying a telescope yourself?

But beware - those long nights outside can be both an inspiration and a strain on friendship, as many astronomer spouses can testify. So be sure to bring your very special person along to enjoy the starry skies with you; doing that has led to quite a number of astronomical marriages...

Alternatively, if you do wish to have a personal star but prefer to stay inside, you can now also explore the entire sky in the comfort of your own home: Digital sky surveys have become freely available on CD-ROM and can be ordered by anyone, e.g. from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (http://www.astrosociety.org/ ). This allows you to browse through many hundreds of millions of stars on your home computer and print out a chart of any one that pleases you. These public digital maps are in fact the main database of at least some of the commercial star naming enterprises and cost about the same as the name of a single star. So why pay a markup for buying your stars one at a time? Enjoy!
