The last stage is the catalogue itself, and it's split the way the sky splits: the Moon, the planets, the deep-sky objects, the machines we sent out, and the travel posters for the planets and the Moon. Each collection page says what its subject is before it shows you a print of it.
The collection includes illustrations, Webb telescope imagery and original spacecraft reference linework. Each product page identifies its process and source credits; every print is made to order.
Which page for which wall
Moon wall art holds three plates: Lunar Phases (all eight phases in gold line), a full Moon in a watercolour wash, and a travel poster for the Sea of Tranquility. Solar system prints has seven, from a chart of the eight planets to single-world portraits and a comet.
For deep space, galaxy prints has four plates and nebula prints has two, Cosmic Cliffs and Orion Cradle. The machines and the posters sit together on space posters: eight pieces in three styles, retro travel, blueprint and planet portrait. Astronomy prints shows ten plates in one place, and constellation prints covers the northern sky, the zodiac figures and the star map.
Buying it for someone
| Page | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Space gifts | Choosing by the subject they love: the Moon, spacecraft, imagined travel or deep space |
| Gifts for astronomers | Whether a stargazer needs something for outside or something for the wall |
| Moon gifts | The phases, a watercolour full Moon, a lunar cycle mug, or the Moon on one date |
| Space Christmas gifts | The last order day for Christmas 2026, and small pieces for a stocking |
| Galaxy print, then and now | The 2012 peak in UK searches, and how galaxy art sits in a room today |
For someone just starting to stargaze, the astronomers' guide suggests something for time outside, such as a planisphere, an observing book or an evening with a local astronomy society. The moon gifts page sorts its ideas by what a person loves about the Moon: the object itself, the monthly cycle, or one night they remember. The Christmas page counts back 9 working days from 23 December and gives Thursday 10 December as its own last order day for 2026, an estimate and not a courier promise.
Before you order
Each plate is made to order in several formats and sizes, and its page shows the price of each. Delivery is free to UK addresses and takes 4 to 9 working days; delivery and returns has the rest. If none of these is the picture you want, Cosmic Canvas makes one from your own photo, and the personalised star map charts the sky over a place and date you choose.

The whole path
The path ends here. The first stage starts back at what you are looking at, and the journal groups the longer articles and photo-printing guides. The full-moon calendar and meteor guide sit with the observing resources in Looking up.
