The Star has just been renamed by the International Star Registry in the name of my son's school and year level, but I can't find it in my star catalogue. I can get close, but not close enough.

FYI. The "International Star Registry" has no official standing in the naming of stars.

It is strictly a "novelty" item.

I've been asked about this by friends so many times I get frustrated to no end...



On their website...

Naming a star through the International Star Registry ® is not recognised by the scientific community.
The star's name appears in the International Star Registry ® records only.
