solarDates: Planet Positions for your Precious Dates (Kickstarter Video)

Back us:
Closing date for backers; 31-10-2019

Using Kickstarter we are launching solarDates, a range of beautifully personalised products based on your birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any date you choose! ...

Every single day in history, there has been a unique configuration of our solar system's planets. Your kids' birthdays, your wedding anniversary, your nephew's graduation - they're all different configurations!

We think this is such a profound idea, that we wanted to share it with you, through these beautiful and unique products.

The Moon and planetary positions are calculated from extremely accurate real data from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory - quite literally generated for missions to the Moon, Mars, and other solar system bodies.

To produce these amazing personalised rewards we are analysing the NASA data using our very own Python computer code. This code will transform your date into a representation of the solar system. Planetary orbits, planets, and The Moon are shown in their unique alignment around The Sun.
To show the orbits, The Sun, The Moon, and the planets exactly to scale we would need to produce extraordinarily huge products and still have most of the planets as microscopic dots, so there is a little bit of artistic license in the scaling to make the items precise but also practical (and beautiful).
