Words in Stars

Write a name in the night sky and watch it appear, star by star. Every point of light is a real, catalogued star — never invented. Made on your iPhone, yours to share.

Some words deserve the sky.

Words in Stars writes a word. A name, a date, "marry me", using the real stars of the night sky. Choose a word, choose a sky, and watch your word reveal itself: the stars light up one by one, then the constellation lines trace between them. It feels like the sky was always spelling it.

What makes it different: every point of light is a real, catalogued star. We never scatter fake dots. Write on your own night photo and the word is fitted to the actual stars in your shot. Write on the celestial sphere and you get the real coordinates and star names to prove it, "featuring Caph and Ruchbah, 400 light-years away."

Three ways to write: • Your photo. Point at a night sky you shot, and your word lands on its real stars • Stock skies. Gorgeous real night-sky photographs, ready to use • Star poster. Your word placed in the actual celestial sphere, with coordinates

Made for moments that matter: Names. Anniversaries. "Happy Birthday." "I miss you." A baby on the way. The night you met.
