Picking astronomy gifts for her
The best of these start with something she's said: that she always notices the Moon, that she wants to see the Northern Lights, or that she remembers exactly where she was on one night.
For someone who notices the Moon
Lunar Phases sets the eight phases in fine gold line on deep ink. Watercolour Moon paints the full Moon in grey and silver wash. A Moon phase print shows the Moon on one date she would know: a birthday, a wedding or the day a child arrived.
For the Northern Lights list
Aurora paints curtains of green and violet light over a dark ridge. Our aurora guide explains where and when to see the real thing from Britain; it's visible more often than people think.
For colour on the wall
Orion Cradle is the Orion Nebula, the nearest place where stars are being born, in rose and slate. Cosmic Cliffs, NGC 3324 is built from James Webb Space Telescope images of the Carina region. Andromeda is our big neighbouring galaxy, glowing in cold blue light.
For one night she remembers
A personalised star map plots the sky above one place at one minute, titled however you like, and you see it free before paying. Northern Constellations is the general version: the northern sky as an 18th-century atlas plate.
