The exact sky that welcomed your baby into the world
When your baby was born, thousands of stars were shining above. Starry Memory captures the exact sky of that magical moment — with real astronomical data, the precise moon phase, and an AI-generated poem celebrating the arrival. A gift that will hang on the nursery wall for years to come.
Some moments deserve to be bottled. A summer evening embrace, a laugh that changed everything, a promise whispered low. The sky above those moments is the only thing that truly fixes them in the universe — every star, every planet, aligned in a way that will never repeat exactly. Starry Memory captures the precise trace.
Every Starry Memory order includes access to our 3D sky explorer — a unique interactive tool that lets you navigate the exact sky of your chosen date as if you were standing under the stars that night. Drag to change the angle, zoom into a specific constellation, identify every visible planet. We're the only service combining a printed poster with an immersive digital experience — not a static PDF, but a personalised planetarium for your moment.
Our customers fall into three main groups. First, family celebrations: birth, baptism, wedding anniversary, parent's birthday — the goal is to capture a moment the whole family shares. Second, couples: the sky of the first date, of moving in together, of the engagement, of the honeymoon. The poster becomes a landmark in the relationship's timeline. Third, personal attentions — for a friend getting married, a colleague retiring, a child graduating. The personalized-birth-star-poster use case covers exactly this type of attention: a gift that goes beyond the object to become a signal of genuine care.
Five themes are available in the configurator, each designed for a different room type. The Dark Classic theme emphasises gold stars on deep black — perfect for an adult bedroom or office. The Light Minimalist theme inverts the contrast: ivory background, thin black stars — for a Scandinavian interior or an already-busy wall. The Romantic theme introduces pink gradients for shared rooms. The Cosmic Milky Way theme adds the galactic band for astronomy enthusiasts. The Pastel Baby theme is designed for children's rooms. The personalized-birth-star-poster use case works with all five, but our default recommendation is Dark Classic — it's the most universal choice and the one that ages best.
The digital file delivered measures 4960 × 7016 pixels at 300 DPI — equivalent to a high-definition A3+. You can print it without quality loss up to A2 (42 × 59.4 cm / 16.5 × 23.4 in), or even A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm / 23.4 × 33.1 in) for a strong wall presence. For the personalized-birth-star-poster use case, here are our size recommendations: A4 (8.3 × 11.7 in) for a desk or small shelf; A3 (11.7 × 16.5 in) for a standard bedroom wall; A2 for a main living room; A1 for an accent wall in a high-ceiling space. On paper: 170 gsm for everyday use, 250 gsm for gallery look, matte or semi-gloss depending on the room's lighting. Online print shops typically charge between $5 and $25 depending on size.
The night sky changes slowly over a few hours. An approximate time (e.g., 'morning' or '3pm') is perfectly fine.
Of course! Enter anyone's birth date and location. It's a wonderful birthday gift for any age.
We calculate the stars that were above you even during daytime — they were there, just hidden by sunlight.
Yes — every order includes one free modification within 24 hours. Beyond that, we charge €1.99 per change (still making the service 5 to 10 times cheaper than competitors). For typos in the name or message, modification is free for life.
Yes — we can compute the sky up to 2100. Some customers order their wedding poster in advance to gift a 'pre-image' to their future spouse before the big day. The computation remains accurate, as star positions change very slowly on a human timescale.
