Adopt a Star

Do you know someone who deserves a special gift or an occasion that should be honoured with a star. Then we would like to invite you to adopt-a-star.  For $60, you can receive a presentation certificate dedicating the selected star to a nominated person or event, a star chart to show you where to find the star, some background information on the star’s constellation, and a pass to attend a show at the Stardome Observatory. Give a gift that is limited in supply, to someone special today.

Stars selected are visible from New Zealand and an official star catalogue name and/or number is cross-referenced on the presentation certificate you receive. The star selected and recorded on your certificate is unique to you. We allocate one certificate only to each star.

Your Adopt-a-Star pack contains:

  • A presentation certificate (suitable for framing) dedicating the selected
    star to a nominated person or event.
  • A star chart showing where to find the star in the night sky.
  • Background information on the star's constellation.
  • One Adult Pass (or two Child Passes) to a planetarium show at Stardome
    Observatory.

Donation for each star adoption: $60.00
