P.S. I?m not joking! I heard that the money will be donated! So why not :)

Ive got a few to sell, proceeds go to the mostlyharmless development fund. You can name your chosen star anything you wish, and you get a certificate of ownership.
30AUD (or a slab of beer)

Before you go spending your money, look at this page;

It's by the International Astronomical Union and explains why star-selling is a scam. Sorry Marc :wink:
