How do you buy a NASA star?
Buying a star from NASA
NASA has nothing to do with star names and naming stars at all. The only organization which publishes stars named by the scientific community, is the IAU (International Astronomical Union). This means that if you want to buy a star as a gift for someone, NASA isn’t the place to go to.

Is the Star Registry legitimate?
The International Star Registry is not in the business of officially assigning star names; it is in the business of finding people willing to part with their money for a piece of paper that in a scientific sense means precisely nothing. Is ISR’s star-naming business therefore a scam? No, not legally.
