C'est un cadeau somptueux pour un anniversaire, pour Noël ou pour un événement hors du commun.
Un moyen inoubliable de récompenser des employés méritants ou des réussites éclatantes.
Un souvenir éternel qui brille dans la nuit pour vous rappeler une personne qui vous est chère.
Mon étoile sera-t-elle unique ?
Absolument. Chaque nom d’étoile ne sera enregistré qu’une seule fois. Le nom de l’étoile sera conservé dans une chambre forte d’archivage et inscrit dans un livre déposé au Bureau du droit d’auteur des États-Unis. Qu’est-ce qu’une étoile ?
Les étoiles sont des boules énormes de gaz chauds et lumineux. Notre soleil est une étoile. Ce n’est qu’une étoile ordinaire, ni la plus grande, ni la plus brillante. Mais le soleil est l’étoile la plus proche de la planète Terre. La Terre fait partie de la famille des planètes, des lunes et des comètes du soleil, que l’on appelle le Système Solaire. Toutes les autres étoiles que nous voyons dans le ciel sont bien plus éloignées de la Terre. Il y a bien
longtemps déjà, les hommes ont donné un nom aux étoiles les plus brillantes dans le ciel et ont appris à quel moment et à quel point du ciel il était possible de les voir. Ils ont également donné des noms aux constellations c’est-à-dire aux groupes d’étoiles qui semblent avoir des formes dans le ciel. En règle générale, ces constellations portent le nom de dieux, de héros ou d’animaux.
Prenez dès aujourd'hui la décision d'inscrire à tout jamais votre nom ou celui de quelqu'un d'autre dans le ciel. C'est tout simplement le cadeau le plus somptueux de l'univers.
