A gift about their story

Parents rarely want more things. They want to be remembered. An artwork of the galaxy above their wedding, with their names and the date, is a gift about them, not from a catalogue.

You give us a date, a time and a place. We compute the point that was directly overhead at that moment, the zenith, and match the real, catalogued galaxy nearest to it that is still unassigned. The artwork is a telescope photograph of that galaxy, finished for print, with the place, the date and up to sixty characters of your words beneath it, in a black wood box frame behind acrylic glazing.

From the children, together

Siblings often share one larger piece, 24 × 30 in, signed with every name. It becomes the picture people ask about at the next family dinner.

Or make it the whole family: the Family Collection is four framed prints in matching frames, one for each parent and child, each the galaxy above the minute that person was born.

Questions

We don't know the time of their wedding.

Use the time on the invitation or a good guess, such as two in the afternoon. Any time gives a real galaxy that was overhead then.

Can it be shipped straight to them?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout.

Is the galaxy really photographed?

Yes. Each artwork is made from a telescope photograph of that galaxy, from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys or Pan-STARRS1, finished for print. Its shape, orientation and scale are the telescope's own.

How much does it cost?

From $290 for 11 × 14 in to $1,290 for 32 × 40 in, framed and ready to hang.

Start with the day they married.
