# What $19.99 Actually Gets You: Every Deliverable, in Plain English

> No package in the mail, no hidden tiers: the four deliverables, what happens before and after payment, and an honest list of what you do not get.

One tier, $19.99, delivered digitally and live the moment payment clears: (1) a dedicated star page — coordinates, distance, magnitude and catalog ID, each independently verifiable; (2) a 3D return to that moment’s sky with a long-term visibility tracker; (3) a memorial space, private by default; (4) an instantly generated certificate PDF you can re-download anytime. No package in the mail, no hidden tiers.

## The moment payment clears, you get four things

- **A dedicated star page** — The star’s full identity in real astronomical data: catalog ID (HIP/Gaia), J2000 coordinates, distance and magnitude — each verifiable independently in software like Stellarium, not dependent on our word.
- **A 3D return to that moment’s sky** — Open the star page and you are back in the sky of the moment they passed; a long-term visibility tracker keeps telling you when the star is up and which way to look.
- **A memorial space, private by default** — Add their photo, light a candle, leave flowers, write a line meant only for you. Private by default — whether any link is shared with family is always your choice.
- **The certificate PDF** — Generated instantly and re-downloadable anytime from My Memorial Stars. A4 landscape, ready for you to print and frame — nothing is shipped, which is part of how the price stays a single tier of $19.99.

## What exactly is printed on the certificate

From top to bottom: the name you chose; for memorial orders, their photo and life dates; the record of the moment (date, time, place and zenith); the star’s astronomical identity — Personal Star ID, catalog ID, RA/Dec, distance, spectral type, certificate number and issue date; and a QR code that opens the 3D star page. At the foot sits the line we never hide: “This naming is a commemorative gesture only and is not recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).”

## What you do NOT get: the honest list

- **An official naming right** — Not included — the IAU recognizes no commercial naming, and nobody can sell it to you. The name is a memorial gesture, and that line is printed on every certificate.
- **Ownership of the star** — Not included — no star belongs to anyone. What you hold is a verifiable memorial record and certificate.
- **Anything physical** — Not included — no mailed certificate, no keepsake box. The PDF is yours to print anytime; it also means delivery is instant, with no shipping to wait for.
- **A promise that you will see it** — Not included — stars vary in brightness; some are naked-eye visible, some need binoculars or a telescope (see “Can You See Your Star?”). Your star page states which kind you have.
- **Hidden charges** — Not included — no subscription, no upgrade tier, no “registration fee.” One payment; the only thing that ever changes a star’s assignment is a refund.

## What happens before and after payment

Before paying: preview for free the real star nearest the zenith of that moment and place (the preview holds about 24 hours); if you order, the star slot is reserved for you for 7 days. After payment confirms: the star page, the 3D sky and the certificate PDF are generated immediately, and the certificate can be re-downloaded anytime from My Memorial Stars. It has no expiry — coordinates are recorded in J2000 and barely shift over centuries.

Refunds are spelled out too: this is digital content customised to your name and moment, so a change of mind is not covered; but if the certificate or star page does not match the description or has a quality issue, contact us — we fix it for free, or refund in full if it cannot be fixed, after which the star slot is released. Checkout is handled by Waffo Pancake as Merchant of Record, accepting cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and WeChat Pay.

## FAQ

**Will anything physical arrive — a paper certificate, a keepsake?**

No — this is a purely digital delivery, with nothing shipped. The certificate is a downloadable A4-landscape PDF you can print and frame yourself; with no shipping, everything is usable immediately and the price stays a single $19.99 tier.

**Can I re-download the certificate later? Does it expire?**

Anytime. Sign in to My Memorial Stars and re-download — neither the certificate nor the star page expires; coordinates are recorded in J2000, and relative star positions barely change over centuries.

**Will extra charges appear after I pay?**

No. One tier, paid once: no subscription, no upgrade, no “registration fee.” The only way a star changes hands is a refund — after which the slot is released.

# 19.99 美元买到什么?四样交付物逐项说清

> 没有实物包裹、没有隐藏档位:四样数字交付物、付款前后流程,以及一份「不包含什么」的诚实清单。

单档 $19.99,纯数字交付,付款确认后立即可用:① 专属星页——坐标、距离、星等与星表编号,每一项都可独立核对;② 回到那一刻的 3D 星空与长期可见性追踪;③ 默认仅自己可见的纪念空间;④ 即时生成、可随时重新下载的证书 PDF。没有包裹,也没有隐藏档位。

## 付款确认后,你会拿到四样东西

- **专属星页** — TA 的星在天文数据里的完整身份:星表编号(HIP/Gaia)、J2000 坐标、距离与星等——每一项都能在 Stellarium 等星图软件里独立核对,不依赖我们的说法。
- **回到那一刻的 3D 星空** — 打开星页就能回到 TA 离开那一刻的夜空;长期可见性追踪页会持续告诉你这颗星何时升起、在哪个方向可见。
- **私密的纪念空间** — 放上 TA 的照片,点亮一支蜡烛、留一束花,写下一句只给自己看的话。默认仅自己可见——分享给家人的链接是否给出,永远由你决定。
- **证书 PDF** — 即时生成,随时可从「我的纪念星」重新下载。A4 横向,自己打印装裱即可——我们不寄实物,这也是价格能是单档 $19.99 的原因之一。

## 证书上具体印着什么

从上到下:你为 TA 选的名字;纪念订单的照片与生卒行;那一刻的记录(日期、时间、地点与天顶坐标);这颗星的天文身份证——专属星号、星表编号、赤经赤纬、距离、光谱型、证书编号与签发日期;右下角的二维码,扫开直达 3D 星页。最底部印着那句我们从不隐藏的话:「本命名仅为纪念性质,不被国际天文学联合会(IAU)认可。」

## 「不包含什么」:诚实清单

- **官方命名权** — 不包含——IAU 不承认任何商业命名,谁都给不了。名字是纪念性的,这句话印在每张证书上。
- **恒星的所有权** — 不包含——恒星不属于任何人。你拥有的是这份可核对的纪念记录与证书。
- **实物包裹** — 不包含——没有纸质证书的快递、没有摆件。证书 PDF 由你随时打印;这也意味着下单即刻可用,无需等待物流。
- **「一定看得见」的承诺** — 不包含——星的明暗各不相同,有些肉眼可见,有些需要双筒或望远镜(详见「你能看见自己的那颗星吗」)。星页会写明这一颗的情况。
- **隐藏收费** — 不包含——没有订阅、没有升级档、没有「注册费」。一次付清;唯一会改变星位归属的情况是退款。

## 付款前后,各发生什么

付款前:免费预览那一刻、那个地点天顶附近的真实恒星(预览结果约 24 小时有效);决定下单后,这颗星位为你保留 7 天。付款确认后:星页、3D 星空与证书 PDF 立即生成,「我的纪念星」里随时重新下载。证书没有有效期——坐标按 J2000 记录,几百年内几乎不变。

退款也写在明处:这是按你的名字与时刻即时定制的数字内容,「改变主意」不在退款范围内;若证书或星页与描述不符、或存在质量问题,联系我们——能修则免费修复,修不好则全额退款,退款后星位重新释放。支付由 Waffo Pancake 作为 Merchant of Record 处理,支持信用卡、Apple Pay、Google Pay 与微信支付。
