# A Memorial Star for a Parent, Partner or Child: What to Consider

> A real star fixed by the moment of their life that matters most — everything worth knowing before choosing a memorial star for family.

A memorial star is a real star from the HYG catalog fixed by the moment and place a loved one passed, carrying their name and a message on a digital certificate, with that night’s sky in 3D and a memorial page family can share and light candles on. It suits parents, partners and children alike — the sky does not care about the relationship; it cares that the moment is real and the name comes from the heart.

## It marks a moment — not a decorative star

There are many ways to remember someone: a name on a bench, a photo on the mantel. A memorial star does this: it converts the one moment of their life that can never be repeated — the moment and place they passed — into the sky. The region overhead at that instant, resolved to one real star from the HYG catalog, now carries their name. Three years later you look up from the yard, or open the 3D view, and that moment is still at those coordinates.

An honest note on time: what matters is not precision but truth. Recall the moment as best you can, to the minute if possible; if only the date is known, ask whoever was there. Better to wait for an accurate moment than to buy a star pinned to a date that was never theirs.

## Words for different relationships

For a parent: often given on the anniversary or their wedding date, with words like “For Dad / Mum — we will always remember” or a phrase they used to say. For a partner: often tied to a date only the two of you know, with a line about them being the star of your life — physically true, which is often why it was bought. For a child: the hardest and most un-forgotten memorial; the name is often paired with one short line or a nickname, and photos are chosen carefully (the memorial page is visible to anyone with the link — simply keep private images off it).

## How a family uses it

The memorial page is public to anyone holding the link — convenient for sharing, which is why you should keep anything private off it; the space also has a private note area visible only to you, for words you do not want public.

- **Anniversaries & birthdays** — Open the 3D sky and look at their night together
- **Family far away** — Share the memorial link so relatives anywhere can light a candle
- **The next generation** — Certificate and coordinates pass down as a verifiable family record

# 为父母、伴侣或孩子选纪念星:一次说清

> 以 TA 生命里那个时刻确定一颗真实恒星——为家人选纪念星前,值得知道的都在这里。

纪念星以离世的时刻与地点确定一颗 HYG 真实星表中的恒星,名字与纪念语印上数字证书,可回看那一刻的 3D 星空,并有一个家人可分享、可点蜡烛的纪念页。它对父母、伴侣、孩子都适用——天体不挑关系,挑的是那一刻是否真实、名字是否用心。

## 它纪念的是「那一刻」,不是一颗装饰星

纪念一个人的方式很多:名字刻在椅子上、照片放在桌上。纪念星的做法是:把 TA 生命里那个再也无法重来的时刻(离世的那一刻、那个地点)换算成天空——那一刻 TA 正上方的天区,在 HYG 真实星表里确定了的一颗星,从此带着 TA 的名字。三年后你在院子里抬头,或打开 3D 回看,那个时刻还在坐标上。

关于时间的诚实提醒:结果的好坏不取决于“填得多准”,而取决于时刻是否真实。尽量回忆并确认到分钟;若只知道日期,试着问当时陪伴在侧的人。宁可晚一点买到准确时刻的星,也不要为某个“好看”的日期买一颗与 TA 无关的星。

## 为不同关系,纪念语的方向

给父母:很多人在周年或他们结婚纪念日送出,纪念语常是“给爸爸/妈妈,我们永远记得你”或一句他们常说的话。给伴侣:许多人在某个只有两人知道的日期送出,纪念语写给“我生命里的那颗星”——物理意义上的成立,往往是当初买它的理由。给孩子:家人最痛也最不愿遗忘的纪念,名字旁常只放一行很短的话或一个小名,照片选择也最慎重(纪念页对持有链接者公开,不放不愿公开的影像即可)。

## 一家人的用法

纪念页本身对链接持有者公开——这带来分享的便利,也意味着不要把不想公开的信息放上去;页面里另有一块私密手记,只对你可见,写不公开的话。

- **周年/生日** — 打开 3D 星空,一起看 TA 那一夜的天空
- **远方的家人** — 纪念页链接分享给散落各地的亲人,点一支蜡烛
- **后辈** — 证书与坐标是可传承的“家族档案”,随时可查证
