Questions
Good to know
How do you work out the moon?
From the moon's and the sun's real positions for your place and minute, on UK clock time with summer time allowed for: the phase, how much of it was lit, and the way it sat in the sky above you. The face is the real moon — its craters and dark seas from a map made by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (map: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio) — lit from the sun's direction that night.
What if it was cloudy, or the moon hadn't risen?
We show the moon above the clouds: the phase it had that night, whatever the weather did. If it was below the horizon at the time you choose, the editor tells you — the phase is still that night's.
Will I see it before I pay?
Yes. You see the whole poster as you make it — the moon, the design and your words — and you approve it before checkout.
Which sizes and finishes can I choose?
A4, A3, A2 and A1 on 200gsm matte paper. A4 is unframed; A3, A2 and A1 can also be framed in black, white or natural wood. Canvas comes in 30×45, 40×60 and 60×90cm. Portrait or landscape.
Where is it printed?
Every item is printed after you order. Our print partner uses production near the delivery destination where the product and local capacity allow; some items may be produced in another country.
Can I change the words?
Yes — the title, the place's name and the line underneath. We fill in the date and that night's phase for you; change any of it to anything you like. Please check your spelling carefully — we print the wording you approve.
Can I have the stars instead?
