Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. One of the oldest
scams in astronomy, selling the naming of stars, has gone online.
Just flushed a piece of spam from the Global Star Registry, which
is probably not the same as the old ISR or International Star
Registry. This may be a good thing, as ISR has probably sold all
the cosmos twice over anyhoo. Like the other scammers, GSR gives
you a certificate only as good as the paper its on, and perhaps
more usefully- a copy of Patrick Moores' astronomy book.
