At last, a productive alternative to those 'name a star' ripoff artists! For US$10, you can "adopt a star" in your (or presumably someone else's) name, with the proceeds to be used for Kepler mission data reduction.
Might not have the fake razzle of the despicable naming schemes, but the payoff is that the star you adopt might have planets found by Kepler! Pretty good deal if you ask me. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
