Why do date, location and time matter?
The night sky changes with both place and time. Your date and location define the setting
for the personalized view, while an exact time allows it to represent a more specific moment.
What if I don’t know the exact time?
That’s okay. You can still create your keepsake using the date and location.
If the exact time is unknown, the finished sky should be understood as
a date-and-place reference rather than an exact-minute reconstruction.
Which date should I choose?
Choose the date that means the most in your pet’s story — such as the day they came home,
their birthday, the day you first met, a rescue day, or another meaningful moment.

Not sure of the exact date yet?
Your first photos together, adoption paperwork or camera roll can often help you find it.
