Gift for · Father’s Day
A Father’s Day gift for someone who never asks for anything
He never asks for anything, which is exactly the problem. So give him something he would not have bought himself, and that genuinely exists: a region of the sky photographed by the greatest telescopes, recorded in his name, with its astronomical identifier and its constellation on the certificate. The five lights on this page were chosen for what they are, not for what they suggest: a supernova remnant, a dark silhouette, two giant regions, and a rare object caught mid-transformation. He can go and look them up, and check.
