My son was born healthy six months ago despite the doctors' bad outlooks. My wife always says she thanks her lucky stars for smiling upon us the day he was born, so I decided to get her a map of the sky over the hospital the night our son was born. She loved it so much she even cried. Definitely recommend!
I LOVE mix places star map maker. The maps are fantastic. The prints are made from high-quality materials. The attention to detail is remarkable. My only minor complaint is that shipping can take longer than expected, but the quality of the product and the HUUGE selection really makes up for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Star maps are created by taking a snapshot of the night sky at a specific time and location, using data from astronomical observations and simulations.
To give some more detail, star maps are electronic versions of what Astronomers refer to as planispheres. Planispheres are analog computer instruments that display stars and constellations on a common pivot. They are made up of two adjustable disks that rotate on a common pivot. The instrument helps you learn how to recognize stars and constellations by displaying visible stars at any time or date.
We can show you the stars as they were on any date, giving you endless possibilities. Create a map of the stars as they were on your wedding day, the day you fell in love, your child's birthday, or so many other days. Our maps are customizable and personal, making them the perfect way to remember special days. They make great gifts too.
So give that special someone in your life a star map today, and give them something from the heart!
In our maps, thousands of stars are plotted, so you can see what is visible at a specific location on a particular night. We plot the Milkyway outline, as well as the most known constellations, as well as the stars with the highest level of scientific accuracy. Our celestial data are collected using Yale’s Bright Star Catalog and other astronomical databases, which contain the coordinates and brightness of each known star in the galactic coordinate system. For constellation lines, we use Donald Menzel’s A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets. Additionally, we use the Messier Catalog and the New General Catalog to identify Deep Sky Objects (like nebulas and galaxies).
Most star maps are not suitable for outdoor use as they are printed on paper or canvas and may be damaged by the elements.
Yes, we offer responsibly sourced FSC-certified paper from sustainably managed forests. All products are produced in accordance with international and national product safety regulations. We always strive to use responsibly sourced materials. Our printed paper products and canvases are made from paper and wood from sustainably managed forests with a sustainable forest management system. We work with suppliers that offer high-quality products that we hope will be enjoyed and used repeatedly for an extended period.
Yes, star maps are available internationally and can be shipped to any location worldwide.
Yes! All customers will receive a low-resolution proof that they must approve before the project is sent off for final production. This proof, which can't be printed or used as a final copy itself, is an opportunity to make sure you are happy with the final design. It's our way of helping you ensure everything is perfect.
While our wood frames usually come mounted, our metal frames come separate to avoid damages during shipping. If you've received an unmounted framed poster, assembling it is easy! Here are some instructions to help you mount your poster into the frame:
- Remove the packaging from the frame and locate the small metal tabs on the back of the frame.
- Bend the tabs through 90º.
- Once all the tabs have been lifted out of the way, the rear of the frame can be removed and the picture inserted into the frame. Replace the back of the frame and bend the tabs back down to hold the frame in position.
Don't forget to remove the protective lining on the front of the glass!
All projects use archival quality ink, which includes durability and fade resistance, and museum-quality archival posters made on long-lasting matte (uncoated) archival paper. Our superior paper quality — 170 gsm / 65 lb — is certified to last 300 years, keeping your project alive for several lifetimes. Moreover, this poster paper is more yellowish (off-white) as no optical brighteners are used during production.
