At the centre, the moon of your night as it was. Around it, the ring of the lunar month: the twenty-nine nights from new moon (at the top) to the next, clockwise — the Moon waxes down the right side of the ring, wanes up the left. Your night is circled: you see where it falls in the cycle.
The preview is what will be printed. Phases computed at the local time of the place (Meeus’ formulae); Moon image: NASA.

Full description
The moon of your night — and the whole lunar month around it. At the centre, the moon exactly as it was that evening, with the name of its phase and its lit share. In a ring, the twenty-nine nights of the lunation, from new moon to new moon, each at its own illumination: at a glance you see where your night sits in the cycle.
Phases computed at the local time of the place (daylight saving included), the moon drawn with its seas and the right way up for the hemisphere — seen from Australia, it is upside down.

Frequently asked questions
What does the poster show?
At the centre, the moon of your night as it was: the phase, its name and its lit share. Around it, in a ring, the twenty-nine or thirty nights of the lunar month containing that date, from new moon to new moon, each at its illumination, yours marked.
Is the phase accurate?
Yes: it is computed for the local time of the place, daylight saving included, with Meeus’ astronomical formulae — to the degree. A day’s offset shows on the moon, an hour does not.
Why ask for the place for a moon?
For the local time, and for the orientation: in the southern hemisphere the moon appears upside down, crescent on the left. The poster draws it as it was seen from there, with its seas.
Which sizes and frames?
A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find (IKEA, HEMA, Action, Desenio). Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; the larger sizes ship rolled, to frame at home.
What paper is the poster printed on?
250 g/m² satin matte paper, lightfast pigment inks. Printed to order in our workshop up to 40 × 60, by our printer beyond that. Shipped rolled in a rigid tube; the A4 travels flat, in a stiff card envelope.
Can I get the file instead of the poster?
Yes. The print-ready file (€8.90) contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and as a 300 dpi PNG — ten files in all, by a download link sent after payment, to print wherever you like.
How long does it take?
Printed within 48 hours, then delivered to your home or a pickup point — home delivery only for the 50 × 70 and 70 × 100. The download link for the print-ready file is sent the same day.
