In our house we each have a star name. Abraham was told to look up and count the stars, and that was how many descendants he would have. Biblically, as descendants of Abraham, we have a symbolic connection to the stars. Some people pay a couple of hundred bucks to have a star named after them or someone they love. That star is almost always one that you can either barley see, or only see with a telescope. There are lots of stars with names. I tell my kids, "That is your star. That is your star name." Many places list the top 20 or 50 brightest stars. I am not going to tell you what our star names are, but here are a few cool stars to pick from.
Sirius, Arcturus, Vega, Castor, Pollux, Betelguese, Rigel, Rigel Kent, Acrux, Canopus, Fomalhaut, Aldebaran, Antares, Mira, Saiph, Capella, Polaris, Dubhe, Deneb, Altair.
The trick is finding them without your iphone ap.
