Looking For Astronomy Gifts? Sleep Under The Stars Every Night

Looking For Astronomy Gifts? Sleep Under The Stars Every Night!

From the moment we are born, astronomy gifts, glow in the dark stars and star themed lullabies are thrust upon us. 'Twinkle twinkle little star' is sung or played repeatedly to all babies and every piece of equipment and clothing aimed at small children has themes of stars and moons. This is no wonder, as the heavens have inspired and fired imaginations throughout mankind's history. Astronomy gifts, including glow in the dark stars, are some of the most popular presents for young and old alike.

Every child loves getting astronomy gifts, as outer space holds no limits for their imagination. Hours of fun can be had, pretending to be an astronaut and exploring new planets and galaxies. Even as adults, we still stop and stare in wonder, when we are lucky enough to view a star-filled sky at night. It is such an amazing and beautiful sight! Studying the stars can be a lifelong hobby. My father used to spend many evenings pointing out the different constellations to me, and this habit encouraged me to purchase my first telescope as a teenager.

Buying the right astronomy gift is a problem as with the air pollution that we all suffer from in large cities, visibility is poor, so viewing the stars with the naked eye is practically impossible.

Even with my telescope, I struggle to view even the closest stars. I found this to be extremely frustrating, as I wanted to pass the gift of astronomy knowledge onto my children.

Apart from moving away from the city, the only way to view the stars every night is to find some way of bringing the stars into your home. It is possible to find specialized interior designers or artists that can paint glow in the dark stars directly onto your ceiling. This is extremely beautiful but also very expensive! Another alternative is to purchase glow in the dark plastic stars. These can be bought easily online, but don't give a realistic impression of the night sky and children can learn nothing about constellations, planets or meteors.

The most beautiful and educational astronomy gift is to purchase a 'Glow in the dark ceiling poster'. These are marvelous as they glow all night long, showing the constellation of your choice, and can be placed directly above your bed, so the illusion of sleeping under the stars is complete. Glow in the dark ceiling posters is very affordable.

These ceiling posters are also available with shooting stars, angels and spaceships. They come in various sizes and will last for years! Absolutely perfect astronomy gifts for everyone in your family. You and your child can spend many a happy hour stargazing every night, from the comfort of your own bed.
