Light the chart for an occasion

Each occasion links to the star map maker. The chart is set here for the night we met: the prints that suit it, and the four details the star map asks for. Your chart shows only the stars above the horizon of the place you choose, at the time local to that place, to magnitude 6.0.

Astronomy, explained

The complete guide library

Start with a question

Why does the Moon change shape?

The Moon stays round. As it travels around Earth, we see different amounts of its sunlit half.

That changing view gives us the phases, from new moon to full moon and back. Earth's shadow causes a lunar eclipse, not the monthly phases.

Eight phases, illustrated. A sequence, not today's Moon or an orbital diagram.

A closer look

Are those colours real?
What a nebula photograph records, and how its colour is made.
What makes an aurora?
Charged particles from the Sun, Earth's magnetic field, and why the light forms ovals around the poles.
Which star is that?
Names, constellations and a starting point for looking up.

From understanding the sky to keeping a night

A star map for the place and time you choose

A star map uses a location, date and time to plot the stars above the horizon. The chart at the top of this page is Greenwich at the start of 2026, made with our star-map renderer for the place and time shown: a plotted chart, rather than a photograph. Yours can mark a night that matters to you.

Star map questions

How much does a custom star map cost?

A printed star map starts at £19.99. Every size and format shows its price in the maker before you pay.

How do I make a custom star map?

Give a place, a date and a time, and a title of up to 40 characters if you like. You see a free watermarked preview before you buy. Open the star map maker.

Is a star map a good gift?

It suits a night worth keeping: an engagement, a wedding, a birth, the night you met. The chart shows the sky above the place you choose at the time you choose, computed from 5,044 stars to magnitude 6.0 (d3-celestial star data), not painted by hand or by an AI model.
