Each world as it was on 14 October 2026, turned on its real axis and lit by the Sun from where it really was.4 Every poster carries three facts from NASA's fact sheets6 and credits the maps it is drawn from.7,8

Custom star map prints
The real sky over a place and a minute you choose: a birth, a wedding, the night you met. The stars, the Milky Way, the planets and the Moon in its phase, worked out by the engine of our planetarium and checked against JPL and the US Naval Observatory.9,5,10 Your words, the place, the date and the coordinates go beneath.

Sizes, paper and frames.
Two sizes, and three ways to have each print. The papers and the frame are as our print lab describes them,1 and every price includes delivery. The Neptune poster is made at 30 × 40 cm only, the largest its map prints sharp.

Delivery and returns.
Posted free to the UK and the US
Every print is made to order by Prodigi, our print lab, and posted from its lab nearest you.2 Delivery is included in every price.
We email you a receipt when you order and again when your print is on its way, with its tracking. Prices are in pounds sterling wherever you order from.
If something is wrong
If a print arrives damaged, misprinted or not what you ordered, tell us within 30 days of it arriving, with a photo, and we have it made and sent again at no cost to you, or refund it. You do not need to send it back.3
A planet poster is the same for everyone who orders it, so in the UK you can also change your mind until 14 days after it arrives and send it back, at your cost, for a refund. A star map is made to your own design, so it cannot be cancelled once ordered except for a fault.3 The full return policy.
Drawn from the real solar system.
The planet posters
Our 3D engine draws each poster from maps of that world, the engine behind the free 3D solar system on this site. It turns the world on its real axis and lights it from where the Sun was that day, and we test that geometry against JPL's Horizons system.4,5
The star maps
A star map draws every star to magnitude 6.5, the Milky Way, the planets and the Moon for your place and minute, with the same engine as our online planetarium. Its planets land within 3 arcseconds of JPL's figures.9 How the engine is made.
Questions about space prints.
What sizes do the space prints come in?
30 × 40 cm and 50 × 70 cm (12 × 16 in and 20 × 28 in), as a poster, a fine art print or a framed print. The Neptune poster is made at 30 × 40 cm only, the largest its map prints sharp.2
What paper are they printed on?
The poster is enhanced matte art paper, 200 gsm; the fine art print is Hahnemühle Photo Rag, 308 gsm; the framed print is matte art paper, 200 gsm, in a classic frame under acrylic.1
Do the framed prints come with a mount?
No. The print fills the frame with no mount around it, under acrylic. The frame comes in black, white or natural wood.1,2
How much is delivery, and where do you post?
Delivery is free and included in every price. We post to the UK and the US: each print is made to order by our print lab, Prodigi, at its lab nearest you.2 Prices are in pounds sterling wherever you order from.
Can I send a print back?
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or not what you ordered, tell us within 30 days of it arriving and we have it made again or refund it, with no need to send it back. A planet poster can also be returned in the UK until 14 days after it arrives, at your cost. A star map is made to your own design, so it cannot be cancelled once ordered except for a fault.3
Are the planet posters photographs?
No. Each is drawn by our 3D engine from maps of that world, turned on its real axis and lit by the Sun from where it shone that day.4 The maps' makers are credited on every poster.7,8
Which date do the planet posters show?
14 October 2026. Every view is the world as it was that day, and the poster prints the date with three facts from NASA's fact sheets.6 Posters drawn for a date you choose are planned; the planet prints page can tell you when they open.
Can I have a print of the night sky on a date that matters to me?
Yes. A custom star map is the real sky over the place and the minute you choose, from 1800 to 2200, with the Moon in its phase and the planets where they were.9 It comes as a print file to print yourself, or printed and framed like the planet posters.
Can I buy a digital file instead?
The star map comes as a 300 dpi file for £19, to print anywhere. The planet posters are sold printed only.
