A star name — from anyone — is a symbolic gift, never an official designation. We think that’s beautiful exactly as it is. So we tell you the truth, then make it the most meaningful version possible.
Star names are not recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the only body that officially names stars. Lumora is a symbolic and emotional gift — we never claim otherwise.
