Save your money, or buy her something of real value.  "Star Registries" are a rip-off the government refuses to shut down, primarally because the companies hide behind the first ammendment.\n\nThe IAU, International Astronmical Union, and just about every respectable astronomical entity do not recognize any such registries.  The stars are named and labled according to an organized system.  "Buying" a star name merely gets it written in a book that will be published and put on a shelf to collect dust in the Liberary of Congress, because all books end up there.\n\nMoreover, the star you will get named will be a Magnitude 5 or 6 if not higher which is barely visable to the human eye in an unpopulated area with low light and good seeing conditions.  The main reason for this is that most of the stars that can easily be seen already have names set by tradition and confirmed by the IAU.  The companies that sell star names know better than stepping on the IAU's and all serious astronomer's toes directly.  Her star would be lost among the mutitude of other stars present in the sky around it.\n\nSorry to burst any bubbles out there, but the truth needs to be heard.  I hope you can find something else nice for your girlfriend.

They should be more properly refered to as a "stellar remnant."  When a low mass star runs out of material that it can fuse in the core it puffs off all of it's outer layers and waht is left over is the hot, dense (generally carbon) core of the star.\n\nThe white dwarf is bright due to being very hot, but it will cool over a very long time.  Often times one will see a definition that a true "star" is an object that can suport fusion in it's core.  A white dwarf has no more core fusion, and is mearly a very, very hot ball of ultra-dense carbon (plus some other elements mixed in for fun).

There's a relative way to interpret your question as well.  \nWhen you look at the stars, you're seeing them because of the light that travels from them to you.  It takes time for the light to reach you.  So, you're not seeing the stars as they are "now".  You're seeing them as they were in the past.  They may not even be there any longer.  They may have gone nova or even supernova (if big enough), but the information of that event traveling at the speed of light hasn't reached us yet.  Just  remember it's all relative.  So, depeneding on which oberserver you ask and how you define certain terms...just how many stars that you can see are really there?

the cosmos has an end... every star and galaxy will have an and so the universe will end someday and someday.. look on discovery science for details

None, they up in the Sky, best seen at night. The Earth does revolve around a Big Star that can actually be seen in the day and not night. Make for a good Word Play/Riddle question. ;-D

We are currently observing 7 objects with a small possibility of hitting us in the near future, and keeping tabs on 14 others that we can't see right now (the sun is in the way).  We also know of 26 objects which we have "lost," but feel that it would be a good idea to find again, just in case.  We also know of another 33 objects that could potentially hit us, but are rather small and would only cause minimal surface damage.\n\nAll in all there are a quite a number of potential impactors right now, we're watching them closly to see if any really will hit us or not.  Obviously this does not count really small things that hit us all the time, just things that are large enough to see in moderate sized telescopes.\n\nJust noticed the source link below mine -- nice to see that Yeomans and Baalke got the JPL site working and up to date again!

Horoscopes are a fantasy that means nothing. They cannot predict the future, they cannot say anything about your personality. No studies of astrology have demonstrated any truth in it at all. Sorry to burst your bubble. You're better of using your time to study things that are real.

The stars emit particles that reach us.

it's a joke!!\n\nSherlock Holmes and Matthew Watson were on a camping and hiking trip. \nThey had gone to bed and were lying there looking up at the sky. Holmes said, "Watson, look up. What do you see? \n\n"Well, I see thousands of stars." \n"And what does that mean to you?" \n\n"Well, I guess it means we will have another nice day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?" \n\n"To me, it means someone has stolen our tent." ... that's all!!

So, the basic idea with that star registry thing is you give them money and the send you a piece of paper.  They do write the name down somewhere, but it's not like it's the "official" name, or anything.  Astronomers are going to keep on using the name they're using, and it's not going to make it onto any star charts or such.  Basically, it's a total rip-off.

As previously stated, starts twinkle due to the atmoshpere of the earth. If you look at a distant star from outside the atmosphere it will be a far less dynamic. I'm not sure of the origins of the pentagonal shape but it was probably due to religous/social explanations from the past (Pictures of the three wise men following the pentagonal shaped north star come to mind)
