We generate the animation!
You choose a date and location and we generate an animation showing the stars that were visible over the entire night. The video includes the stars entering during sunset, the constellations that were overhead, and the stars exiting during sunrise. If any planets or the Moon were visible on your night, they'll appear too, with the Moon in its correct phase. The video shows the entire sky, with the southern horizon along the bottom.
The music is generated by the stars themselves, by converting each star's color and brightness into a musical note. This process is called sonification. The redder stars produce lower pitched notes while the bluer stars produce higher notes. The brighter the star, the louder the note. The animation and music are created using highly accurate astronomical catalogs and our own software.
Within 24 hours of when you place an order you will receive an email with buttons that will let you watch and download the video of your starry night. If you'd like to share the video or give it as a gift, simply forward this email to someone you love so they will always remember that magical night.

United StatesPerfect Gift
It's hard to get a gift for my dad. He doesn't really care for "stuff" that sits around collecting dust. My mom passed away 2 years ago, and it's been really difficult for him to cope. They'd been married for over 60 years! My sister and I decided to order a Starry Night for the date and location of their wedding as a gift for their anniversary this year. He LOVED IT!! Thank you so much for helping us make him happy!

United StatesAmazing!
I got this made in memory of my sweet daughter, Nikolette Petrichor. It is supremely beautiful. So peaceful to watch and feel her with me. Watch the night go cross over and hear gentle music. A must for the price.

United StatesBeautiful, moving gift for anyone you love, including yourself
What a beautiful rendition of a starry night into music. Created one for my daughter's birthday anniversary, and it is a true joy to watch and listen. Thank you! Highly recommend the three minute version. I'd like to have a 30 minute one for relaxation / meditation. p.s. I'm getting one for my almost 92 year old mom, who has always loved the night sky and music (plays the piano when she has the occasion). She will love it so much.

United StatesAwe-inspiring gift!
It's the night sky from just after sunset to shortly before dawn. And it is truly awe-inspiring! Though I purchased it without an opportunity to preview this particular star song, it was absolutely worth the money! I am so glad I have this to give my sister for her birthday. And I will be purchasing more for the people I love.
