Carlton Observatory Stars

$50.00 – $250.00

You can support the Carlton Observatory by buying a star!

That is correct…we are selling stars that will become a part of the art and design of the Carlton Observatory. There are 3 different star prices and each are represented by a different colored plaque…gold, silver, and copper. The higher the price, the brighter the star. All the stars are named and have official coordinates listed on the plaques you will receive. And you can dedicate the star to a loved one in celebration of an event or as a memorial. When you come to the Carlton Observatory you will be able to look up and see where your star is located in the ceiling of the lecture hall.

Our copper stars are the least brightest stars in the sky but the most affordable at just $50
Our silver stars have a brighter magnitude number and can be seen with the naked eye and sell for $100
The gold stars are the brightest in the night sky and almost all are a significant star in the northern hemisphere constellations…you could buy a star in the Big Dipper! These stars sell for $250.

More Information

So…you know how most community buildings sell “bricks” in order to fund a project? Then they put a ‘donor wall’ somewhere in the building to give credit for that support? Well, we are doing something a bit more imaginative and fun. We are selling the stars!

One day you will visit the Carlton Observatory for the first time and upon entering the building you will look up and see our solar system covering the ceiling. Imagine the pride you will feel when you realize that you helped build this science center by purchasing one of those stars, galaxies, asteroids, nebulae, star clusters, constellations, moons or planets. That’s correct…every celestial object that is purchased to support this project will become a permanent art installation in the unique design of this building. And your name could be attached to one or more of them!

You can buy some of the stars right here online. Or you can buy an entire constellation, galaxy, star cluster, nebulae, planet or even the moon by contacting us directly for prices and availability at info@carltonobservatory.com
