Star Maps

Absolutely! Star maps are ideal gifts for newborns as they can mark birthdays and other milestones in a new baby's life. They make great gifts for new parents too, as they mark the passing days and years as a newborn baby slowly grows into a toddler and a young child.

We rarely look up at the night sky during the most memorable moments of our lives. But just as we change, so do the Stars. Could you see Orion's Belt on the night of your wedding engagement? Did Ursa Major or Cassiopeia shine bright the evening your child was born? Where was the North Star when you graduated college?

Our Star Maps are more than just images of the night sky — they tell a story of your journey. Where you were and where you're going. Create something that will last a lifetime with a MixPlaces Star Map today!

There are several types of star maps available, such as paper prints, canvas prints, and custom-made star maps.

A star map is a representation of the night sky at a specific time and location, showing the stars, constellations, and other celestial objects.

Star Maps chart the stars on a specific date from a particular location on the planet. In Astronomy, these charts are known as Planispheres. However, Planispheres are analog — they consist of two adjustable disks that rotate on a pivot — and what we are doing is very much digital. Along with data from NASA, we use Yale’s Bright Star Catalog and Donald Menzel’s A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets.

Star maps can be used for various purposes, such as decorating a room, as a unique gift, or as a reference for stargazing.

A custom star map makes a beautiful piece of wall art and is a great way to share memories with someone special. Consider creating any of the following types of street maps:

• When we met map
• When it all began map
• When we first kissed map
• Our first-date map
