How it works

  1. 01

    Pick a real star in the sky

    Browse the interactive star map with thousands of real stars from the Hipparcos catalogue. Filter by constellation, search by name, or let the sky guide you to a free one.

  2. 02

    Write your signature — free

    With your verified account, leave your name and message on the star. It goes live instantly on the 3D map and the AR app, visible to anyone. Until you secure it, someone else can replace it with theirs.

  3. 03

    Secure it with the lock, if you want

    For €9.90 you choose the symbolic name your signature is presented with and make it permanent: no one can ever overwrite it. Includes a digital certificate, a narrated video and a highlighted dedication. A symbolic gesture — the sky is not for sale.

Signing is free. Permanence is not

Your signature lives in the sky until someone replaces it. The lock makes it untouchable forever and lets you choose the symbolic name it is presented with — and it is the only thing we sell.

Your signature

Free

Create your account, pick a free star (or steal a signed one) and leave your name and message, visible on the 3D map, the star page and the AR app. One free signature per account, always.

Until it is secured, anyone else can replace your signature with theirs. If that happens, we email you and your message stays in your history.

Frequently asked questions

Does the star become mine?

No — and we tell you straight. What is yours is your signature: your name and message are associated with a real star from the Hipparcos catalogue, visible on the 3D map and in augmented reality. If you secure your signature with the lock you also choose the symbolic name it is presented with, a denomination that exists only within Stelvia. It is a symbolic gift that links you to a real point in the universe, with no property rights of any kind.

Is it recognised by the IAU?

No. No star in any private registry is recognised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the only naming authority — and neither is the symbolic name you choose: it is a denomination that exists only within Stelvia and is always shown next to the star's catalogue identifier. Stelvia is a symbolic, commemorative wall of signatures; we tell you straight.

What is the lock?

The only paid product. Signing a star is free with your verified account; for €9.90 (VAT included) the lock makes your signature permanent — no other user can replace it — and includes a digital certificate, a personalised narrated video and a highlighted dedication. All inclusive, no tiers, no extras.

What does the AR app look like?

The AR app is a progressive web app with no download. When you open it and grant device orientation permission, your phone overlays the exact position of the star you signed onto the real sky. It works in Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS, night or day.

Can my signature be replaced?

Yes, as long as it isn't secured: anyone with an account can sign the same star, and their message will replace yours. If that happens we notify you by email and your message is kept in your private history: you can take back the same star if it's still free, sign another one, or secure your signature with the lock so it never happens again.

Returns?

The lock is digital content performed immediately: your signature is secured instantly and the certificate and video are generated upon payment. For that reason, with your express consent at checkout, it is excluded from the 14-day right of withdrawal (art. 103.m TRLGDCU; reinforced by art. 103.c due to personalisation). Signing is free, so there is nothing to return. Full details in the Terms and Conditions.
