"The quality and styling of this product is top notch. I purchased a night sky for my daughter and her new husband as a wedding gift, and they were delighted with the look, and originality, of having a visual time stamp of the stars' position on their wedding night."

Glow in the Dark Star Maps
During the day, it's a beautifully designed star map, a personalised print of the night sky from any date you choose. But when the lights go down, something changes. The stars begin to glow. The constellations appear in the dark, positioned exactly where they were on your date, and for a few quiet minutes the print becomes the sky it's been describing all along.
Our glow-in-the-dark star maps use photoluminescent technology that charges in natural or artificial light and glows when the room goes dark. It's not a gimmick. It's a second layer of the same story, revealed only when the lights go out.
Two prints in one.
By day, you see the full star map with its constellations, labels, and your personal message. By night, the stars glow softly in the dark, a different view of the same sky. Visitors notice the print on the wall during the day and are surprised by it again at night. It's a conversation piece that has two conversations.
Perfect for nurseries and children's rooms.
This is one of our most popular choices for new baby gifts and children's bedrooms. The glow effect is gentle, not harsh or overly bright, and creates a soft, ambient starlight that children find calming. Combine it with the date and location of a child's birth and you've got the sky that was above them when they arrived, glowing softly in their bedroom every night.
How the glow works.
The photoluminescent layer charges in daylight or under room lighting throughout the day. When the lights go off, the stars and constellations glow for several minutes: long enough to fall asleep to, long enough to be surprised by, long enough to remember why you bought it.
The same astronomical accuracy.
Like every Night Sky product, glow-in-the-dark star maps are calculated using ESA Hipparcos satellite data. The stars that glow in the dark are the same stars that were in the sky on your date. The beauty is in the materials. The accuracy is in the science.
A Star Map That Comes Alive at Night
The night sky from any date: a beautiful print by day, a glowing star map by night. Photoluminescent technology charges in daylight and illuminates the stars when the lights go out. Perfect for nurseries, bedrooms, and anyone who likes their art to surprise them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do glow-in-the-dark star maps glow for?
The glow lasts for several minutes after the lights go off - long enough to enjoy the effect as you fall asleep or to share the surprise with someone seeing it for the first time. The print charges throughout the day in natural or artificial light and is ready to glow again each evening.
Are glow-in-the-dark star maps good for nurseries?
They're one of our most popular nursery gifts. The glow is gentle and calming, not harsh or overly bright. Many parents choose the date and location of their child's birth, so the stars glowing above the crib are the same stars that were in the sky the night the baby arrived.
Is the glow effect visible during the day?
During the day, the print looks like a beautifully designed star map — the glow elements are not visible in normal lighting. The glow only appears when the room goes dark, creating a hidden second layer to the design.
Are glow-in-the-dark prints astronomically accurate?
Yes. Every glow-in-the-dark star map uses the same ESA Hipparcos satellite data as our museum-grade and foil prints. The stars and constellations are positioned exactly as they appeared from your chosen date, time, and location.
What colour options are available?
Glow-in-the-dark star maps are available in Black and Midnight Blue palettes. Both feature the same photoluminescent glow effect. Use our design tool to preview each option before ordering.
