Name a Star


Got a nephew who's spent the holidays lobbing M80s into snow drifts and whose New Years fireworks stash rivals the arsenal of some small countries? Perk up the puny pyro's Christmas with a superheated ball of nuclear fusion several hundred thousands of miles across, named in his honor. The "Custom Star Kit"
($54, starregistry.com) from the International Star Registry includes a Certificate and Star Chart showing the location of your newly named celestial object. Just don't expect to hear the little tyke's name at your next trip to the planetarium: the scientific community doesn't recognize the names.
