The only organization with legal authority to name a star is the International Astronomical Union. If the company is connected to the IAU than go for it - otherwise - scam alert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BWFlowers" <BWFlowers@comcast.net> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Cc: "Dirk R." <drtanuki@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 12:22:07 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Name a STAR?
