A global team with a singular obsession
Our team spans the UK, Spain, the USA, and Latin America. We are graphic designers, astronomers, programmers, and storytellers — united by a shared belief that the cosmos holds meaning, and that meaning deserves to be captured with precision.
Remote by design, diverse by nature, and obsessed with getting every star in exactly the right place.
The science behind every map
We believe a star map should be more than beautiful — it should be true.
Every map we produce is built on three scientific foundations:
Yale Bright Star Catalogue (BSC5) — the most authoritative stellar reference database in existence, maintained by Yale University and covering 9,096 stars with exact positions, magnitudes, and spectral classifications. Every star on your map has a catalogue entry.
NASA JPL Horizons — planetary positions are calculated using the same ephemeris engine used by space missions. When your map shows where Jupiter stood on the night of your birth, those coordinates are accurate to the arcsecond.
IAU Constellation Boundaries — zodiac boundaries follow the official delineations established by the International Astronomical Union, the global authority on astronomical nomenclature since 1919.
How your map is rendered
Our stellar engine is built on D3-Celestial, the open-source astronomical projection library used by researchers and educators worldwide. D3-Celestial translates raw catalogue data into the classic cartographic style you see on our maps — the same visual language found in professional star atlases for over a century.
The result is a map that honours both scientific rigour and the emotional weight of the moment it represents.
