Write the first storyHonest answers
Is this an official crater name?
No. This is a commemorative gift. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) does not recognize commercial crater names. Your certificate is a beautiful memento, not an official astronomical designation — and we will never claim otherwise.
How do I find my crater?
Your certificate carries exact selenographic coordinates. Enter them in any moon-map app (we recommend Moon Globe or Virtual Moon Atlas) and the crater is right there — most of ours are visible with basic binoculars.
What's included?
Your chosen crater name in our registry, a premium certificate, exact coordinates, and your gift message — delivered digitally within 24 hours.
Can I name a crater for someone else?
That's the whole point. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, memorials — most craters are gifts. The recipient's name goes on the certificate.
How long does delivery take?
Within 24 hours, digitally, anywhere on Earth. Mare tier and above get priority handling.
Can two people share one crater?
No — one crater, one name, forever. That's what makes it yours.
