What is a star map?

The exact sky from your
most meaningful moment

A star map is an astronomical record of exactly where every star, planet, Sun and Moon were positioned at a specific moment in time — printed as a beautiful, frameable poster. Pick any date. Any city. We compute the real sky and render it for you.

Map style 1

Your Sky

The sky exactly as you would have seen it — looking straight up from your location at that moment. Centre is directly above your head. Edge is your horizon.

Only stars above the horizon at your location are shown — the same date in Mumbai and Delhi produces a different map.

All Stars

The entire celestial sphere at your moment — every star and constellation in the universe, above and below your horizon, flattened into a circle.

All Stars shows the grand picture — the complete universe frozen at your moment. Not sure which style? Get both and decide after.

Not an illustration. An astronomical calculation.

Most star maps online are decorative art with stars scattered randomly. Ours are computed from NASA's DE440 planetary ephemeris and the Hipparcos catalog — the same datasets professional astronomers use.

What's on your poster

Everything is real, computed, and customisable.

 Constellations

Constellations are patterns of stars named by ancient astronomers — Orion, Ursa Major, Scorpius. The 57 most recognisable ones are drawn with connecting lines and curved labels. These patterns guided navigators and poets for thousands of years. You can toggle lines and labels independently.

 Named stars

About 30 famous stars get special treatment — Sirius (the brightest), Polaris (the North Star), Betelgeuse, Vega, Arcturus. They appear with a subtle spectral glow matching their real colour (blue for hot stars, red for cool ones) and a green label.

 Sun, Moon & Planets

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are at their exact positions, colour-coded by their real hues. The Sun appears as a glowing disc — even in daytime (because the universe doesn't care what time it is). The Moon shows its correct phase for your date.

 Horizon & directions

On the All Stars map, a horizon ellipse separates visible sky from stars below it. N/S/E/W labels mark compass directions. Stars crossing the horizon are labelled as rising or setting in yellow-green.
