Unfortunately, two of their best products are not available.

An excellent alternative is to dot her ceiling with these paints. They come in 14 colors with green and aqua having the highest persistence at around 12 hours.

Almost all glow-in-the-dark sky stickers are based on traditional - and old-school - ZnS:Cu phosphors which glow for a paltry 15-25 minutes. The phosphors in these (non-toxic) paints are based on rare-earth elements including europium. Ha! The green paint is the most luminous and has the longest persistence, with the violet and red at the short end (the violet, however, is beautiful IMHO).

"I have tried google, but nothing much."

Try Google again and enter "glow in dark astronomy stickers" as the search term.

You will be surprised what Google can do if you feed it properly or creatively.

Efston Science has some variation on the theme. They have a stensil that you can paint an accurate sky with glow in the dark paint! (In Toronto)

I had the "Map of the Universe" Poster hanging in my room as a kid. Its 36"x36" (90cm x 90cm) and glows in the gark. Just google "map of the universe poster" and you'll find a half a dozen sites that carry it. A very cool alternative if you can't find what you're looking for. (I think it only shows stars visable in the northern hemishpere though)

You could just remove the ceiling, but the Milky Way is really not visible with all the sky glow. I'd stick with the stickers.
