A sample Moon. Theirs appears once you enter the date.
Shown as seen from India: a waxing Moon is lit on its right.
The Moon, too big for the page
Rs. 99 incl. GST
Digital file: a 12 × 18 in PNG at 300 DPI and a matching print-ready PDF, emailed after you pay.
Print: the poster printed to order on archival matte paper, rolled in a rigid tube. The digital files come too.
Framed: the print in a solid wood frame with an acrylic front, ready to hang, packed flat. The digital files come too.
From the date and time we compute where the Moon stood against the Sun at that moment: how much of it was lit, whether it was growing or shrinking, how far away it was and which constellation it stood in front of. The phase dates, the full Moons and the sign come from the same calculation.
The Moon itself is NASA's: the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's photographs of the near side, lit for that night's phase the way sunlight falls on the real thing. It is shown as seen from India, so a waxing Moon is lit on its right.
Without a time we use 9 pm. Without a place we read the time on India's clock.
Prints are made in 3–5 working days and then shipped by tracked courier, usually 5–8 days to most pin codes. Shipping is free above ₹1,999.
If a print arrives damaged, or something on it is our mistake, we reprint it free. As each poster is made for one person we can’t accept returns for a change of mind, so please check the name and date before you pay.
The idea
The Moon of their birth night fills the right of the sheet and runs off its edge, the phase set in heavy capitals below. Down the left margin sit the sign, its four words and the Sun's exact place in it.
Every Moon poster shows the same Moon for the same night: the real one, at its real phase, from NASA's photographs. What changes is what is set around it.
Same Moon, other pages
