The sky at the twelfth stroke
Your file arrives in minutes
Midnight, 31 December 2026
At the twelfth stroke, look east
The Moon is still below the horizon, so the sky is dark for your wish. Low in the east, two planets are rising together into the new year.
30°
Jupiter
East, a third of the way up
The brightest point in the eastern sky at midnight. Brighter than any star, steady, slightly yellow.
20°
Mars
East, lower, just to its right
Reddish and lower than Jupiter. The two of them climb together through the first hour of the year.
| City | Moon | Jupiter | Mars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moscow | rises 02:36 | 30° up | 20° up |
| Kyiv | rises 01:50 | 36° up | 26° up |
| Minsk | rises 03:12 | 25° up | 15° up |
| Almaty | rises 01:19 | 40° up | 29° up |
«С Новым годом!» or «З Новим роком!»
The studio opens in the language of your country: the date, the line and the labels on the print. Your names exactly as you write them.

Which New Year’s table were you at?
- 00:00
The first one in your own flat
Two chairs, a borrowed table, the chimes on a laptop. The sky over that first address, with both your names.
- 00:01
At your parents', everyone home
Olivier salad, the tangerines, your father counting down a second early. The stars over the house you grew up in.
- 00:02
The year the baby came
Their first New Year, asleep before eleven. The midnight sky of that night, for the wall of their room.
- 00:03
Midnight in another country
Celebrating twice: once with Moscow or Kyiv time on the phone, once at your own midnight. Choose either city; the print shows its sky.
About the New Year print
Which moment does the print show?
The studio opens at 23:59 on 31 December 2026, the last minute of the old year, at the place you choose. You can set the exact time, or any other New Year's Eve you want to keep.
Is the Moon on the print?
Not at midnight this year: in Moscow, Kyiv and Almaty the Moon is still below the horizon at the twelfth stroke and only rises between one and three in the morning. What you will see low in the east are Jupiter and Mars, and the print shows them exactly where they were.
Can the print be in Russian or Ukrainian?
Yes. The studio opens in Russian, or in Ukrainian for visitors from Ukraine, and either is one tap away: the date, the line and the labels are written in that language. Your names stay exactly as you type them.
Will it arrive before New Year?
Yes, whenever you order. It is a print file, not a parcel: it reaches your inbox and download page within minutes, even on the afternoon of 31 December.
Is it a good gift for parents or grandparents?
It is one of the gifts people keep on the wall all year: the sky over the family's home at the moment the year turned, with the family's name. Print it as many times as you like, one for each household.
How big can I print it?
The file is 9,000 × 12,000 pixels, a true 300 dpi at 75×100 cm (30×40 in), and sharp at every smaller size.
