Turn a name into a star map

Plot a name in the night sky

Each letter becomes a star. We connect them in order with faint dashes, drop a few background stars and a glow, and label the chart with mock right ascension and declination — like a real star chart, only your name.

The sky is empty.

Type a name above and stars will appear.

About this chart

The Constellation Map Generator turns a name into a fictional star chart. Each letter becomes a star — its size scaled by a mock magnitude — and the stars are connected in reading order with faint dashed lines, the way old astronomical plates joined a constellation.

Around them, we scatter a few hundred background stars at random brightnesses to give a real night-sky feel. The chart is labelled with mock RA and Dec coordinates derived from the name, so two different names produce different star fields.

How to use

1. Type a name. 2. Watch the constellation form letter by letter. 3. Press Shuffle stars for a different background field, or Download chart to save a printable PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is the star data real?
No. The chart is decorative — the coordinates and magnitudes are derived from the name, not from any real astronomical catalogue. It's a poster, not an ephemeris.
Will the same name always draw the same chart?
Yes. The constellation positions are deterministic per name. The background star field re-rolls with Shuffle stars, so you can pick the look you like and download that one.
Can I print the result?
Yes — the PNG is rendered at 1600×1000 pixels, more than enough for an A4 print. We use a deep navy background and bright off-white stars so it carries well on glossy paper.
How long can the name be?
Fourteen letters fits comfortably. Longer names still work but the line gets crowded. Spaces are kept as faint gaps, so a first + last name reads as two arcs.
Is it a real star chart?
No — please don't try to navigate by it. It uses real-looking notation (α Cen, RA / Dec) but the values are mock.
Is anything stored?
Nothing. The name never leaves your device, and we don't log anything. The link only encodes the seed so the chart can be reproduced.
