5 out of 5 starsThis is the second star map I've purchased from AsterismLabs -- the first was a baby star chart, and now a wedding star chart. Both are stunning and by far the best star charts on Etsy! Would highly recommend. It's going to be my go-to gift for special occasions from now on!

5 out of 5 starsSo thrilled about this purchase! There are many "star map" sellers on Etsy, but none as beautiful (and scientifically accurate) as this one. Worth every penny -- the gift recipients absolutely loved it!

5 out of 5 starsThis was my third star map purchase from this seller. All have been excellent quality, and such a unique thing to celebrate our kids' births. I'm tempted to have more kids just so I can buy more of these... :) (jk). Communication with seller has always been prompt and conscientious. Thanks so much!
About AsterismLabs
The skies made tangible
The constellations of night sky have, by turn, brought me comfort and inspiration. Their familiar pattern takes me back to summers spent working at planetariums and observatories while I was studying to be an astrophysicist. And even after decades of gazing at the night sky, Venus in the evening twilight still takes my breath away.
Today, I’m an ex-astrophysicist. I spend my days creating data visualizations and infographics for science magazines. Creating accurate and beautiful illustrations—built on data—brings me joy.
With Asterism Labs, I evoke the wonder and beauty of the night sky, and recreate it in honor of life’s most memorable occasions. It’s ephemera that endures.
My bread-and-butter are weddings and babies, but I’m open to just about anything—send me a note; I’d love to work something out!

I’m a Ph.D. ex-astrophysicist who creates data visualizations for science magazines. I love that the night sky is ever changing, and yet a constant comfort—look up from a new place on a dark night, and familiar constellations smile down.
