I remember when I was in HS we bought a star for our Physics teacher... he died several years ago, so I went to look up the star we named after him. It was at that time that I learned it was a scam. The star naming people resell the 10 magnitude stars over and over again. Each year they publish a new directory which is the "copyrighted" work...

lame i say, but i do look for Sirius everywhere I am in the northern hemispere. It's one of the brightest stars, find Orion's belt and it points to it. There, my own star but have never spent a penny to "own" it.
