Galaxy OriginsA moment, made infinite.

Wedding gift

A wedding gift that isn't on the registry.

Give the couple the sky above their vows: the real galaxy that was overhead at the ceremony, framed with their names and the date.

The gift they remember

Couples receive dozens of gifts and remember a handful. The ones they remember are personal. This one is made from the exact moment they married: the date, the time of the ceremony and the venue.

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.

Questions

Can I order before the wedding?

The galaxy is matched to the exact moment, so order once the ceremony time is fixed. Many order on the day itself.

Can it be sent directly to the couple?

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.
