Okay.

I am building an Internet server on "jupiter" (which is configured as
"jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org".  When I try to add
jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org under "Manage Name Servers" at
https://manage.opensrs.net, the nameserver is rejected with the
following advisory:

"Unable to update nameservers:
Nameserver <jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org> doesn't exist at the
registry."

This means that you must register jupter.obligqueuniverse.org as a
nameserver in the registry before you can list it as a nameserver for
a domain. This is done to prevent loops and unresolvable dependencies.
Walk the pages and you should be able to find a screen to register a
nameserver inside the domain. You can then register it as the
nameserver for the domain.

Although domain management is done through the OpenSRS web interface,
OpenSRS disclaims all responsibility for any problems and questions.
You can't get a live person on the phone.  I consulted with tech
support at Lunarpages, where I was told:

1.  They could *not* tell me how to *register* my nameserver

There should be a page to register a nameserver inside a domain. Once
that's done, you should be able to register that nameserver as the
nameserver for that, or any, domain.

2.  I must be running a *dedicated* nameserver
3.  The nameserver's name must have the format: ns1.somedomaine

Nonsense. I don't know why they told you those things.
