This supernova remnant has a name: Tycho
As a holiday gift-giving idea, naming a star for someone can be done at little to no cost.
1. Design and print a certificate "officially" designating coordinates where the recipient's star appears. There doesn't even have to be a star there. Only the International Astronomical Union, the real star-namers (actually number assigners), will know.
2. Create your own registry so you can say the designation is registered.
Please don't charge others for this service (or bring back Pet Rocks).
For real space information, read the Space Exploration and Space News Examiners.
