Gift ideas, astronomy insights, and inspiration for your personalized star maps.
Understanding the sky to capture it better. Our articles cover three pillars: practical gift guides for choosing a star map by occasion, the science behind our accuracy (HYG v4.2 catalog, IAU stereographic projection, 88 official constellations), and inspiration for turning a unique moment into lasting wall art. Wedding, birth, Valentine's Day, last-minute gifts, cosmic signatures — we write what we wish we had read before making our own star map. Every article is reviewed by Théo, founder and software engineer based in Normandy, France.
