The night sky on the night you were born
A custom star map of the sky over the place and moment of a birth. A personalized nursery poster and a new baby gift that grows up with them.
A custom star map of the night sky over one place, at one moment.
Choose a place, a date and a time, and the poster shows the sky as it stood above that spot at that moment — the stars, the constellations and the Milky Way, down to the horizon. Pick the layout and colors, a shape or a night sky behind it, your own title and text, and the size. What you see on screen is what gets printed.
How it works
Open the map editor, enter your place, date and time, and design your poster. When you are happy with it, add it to your cart and we take care of the rest. Nothing is printed until you order, and every poster is created for personal use, not for resale or commercial use.
Made to order, printed locally
Giclée printing on museum-quality matte paper with water-based inks, from sustainably sourced materials. Orders are produced in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada or Australia and shipped from the lab closest to you.
Choose how you want it
Unframed on paper, or framed in solid wood with a black, white, or natural wood finish, behind acrylic. You can also choose a stretched cotton canvas, ready to hang. Fifteen sizes, from 8×10″ up to 36×48″, plus the full A series.
Prefer to print it yourself? Choose Printable file for a high-resolution file you can print at home or at a local print shop. Digital files are available worldwide.
Calculated for your moment
The sky is worked out from a star catalog for the exact place, date and time you enter, for any date from 1900 to 2050. It shows the stars, the constellations and the Milky Way; the moon and the planets are not drawn.
