Map of My Heaven – Map of My Heaven

It is an image that shows the position of the stars and constellations on a given date, time and location on Earth. Each custom map is generated after processing a database that contains thousands of stars and some other related data points while maintaining scientific accuracy.

We are always studying to provide you with the most realistic night sky possible. Our main star catalog is the European Space Agency – Hipparcos Mission, a high-precision catalog of stars generated from more than four years of observations made by the Hipparcos space telescope. Find out more here: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A1logo_Hipparcos

Based on this catalogue, we created some reading mechanisms that allow us to build the map using stars up to magnitude six – the position in which they are visible in the dark sky – for any date or location in the past or future!

You can compare the map you create here with any open source planetarium software before ordering. We recommend Heavens Above or Stellarium.org.

The map shows the night sky dome as you see it above you. The edge of the map represents the horizon and the center of the globe is where you are! Therefore, the stars to its north are those in the upper half, to its south are those in the lower half and so on with east and west.

The image of the globe represents half of the celestial sphere and it is as if you were looking at half of the Universe, at 180 degrees.
