How it works

Three steps, one evening

1

Pick your moment

Enter a date and a place. The preview updates as you type, and trying is free.

2

Make it yours

Choose a style, add names and a line of text. What you see is exactly what you get.

3

Print it

Moon prints download straight after payment. Star maps arrive by email within 24 hours. Files are 300 DPI, in every common size.

Not a template

A calculation, not a stock image

Most prints reuse a handful of pictures. Ours are computed for your date, from the same data astronomers use.

5,044

real stars from the European Space Agency's Hipparcos catalogue, each one where it actually was that night.

LRO

The real Moon surface, from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter maps, lit at the exact phase of your date.

0.2°

Checked against NASA. Our Moon's orientation matches NASA's own renderings to within a fifth of a degree.

Same evening, local time. From the southern hemisphere the Moon appears upside down, so we draw it that way.

Questions

Before you order

Something else on your mind? All questions or email astrovenuspro@gmail.com.

Do I get a physical print?

No. You get a high-resolution file (PNG, 300 DPI) to print at home, at a local print shop or with an online printer. Nothing is shipped, so there are no delivery delays.

Which sizes can I print?

30 × 40 cm, A4, A3, 40 × 50 cm, 50 × 70 cm, 8 × 10, 11 × 14, 12 × 16 and 18 × 24 inches. For Moon prints you can download every size.

How accurate is it?

Star positions come from the ESA Hipparcos catalogue. Moon phases match the US Naval Observatory to within minutes, and the Moon's surface is NASA's own map.

What if the Moon was almost new on my date?

Then your print shows an almost dark Moon. That is what the sky looked like, and we never fake it. The preview shows it before you pay.
