What this print shows.

The view

The Moon as it was from the Earth on 14 October 2026: a waxing crescent 14% lit, turned the way it faced us that night, drawn from NASA's lunar maps. Every view is turned on the world's real axis and lit by the Sun from where it really was that day, and we test that geometry against JPL's Horizons system.1,2

Questions about the Moon poster.

30 × 40 cm and 50 × 70 cm (12 × 16 in and 20 × 28 in), as a poster from £35, a fine art print from £49 or a framed print from £79.7

Is it a photograph?

No. It is drawn by our 3D engine from maps of the Moon, turned on its real axis and lit by the Sun from where it shone on 14 October 2026.1 The maps' makers are credited on the poster.5

Can I have it for a different date?

This print is drawn for 14 October 2026. Posters drawn for a date you choose are planned, and the planet prints page can tell you when they open. For the sky of your own date today, a custom star map draws it for any place and minute.

How much is delivery?

Nothing: delivery is included in the price. We post to the UK and the US, and our print lab, Prodigi, makes each print to order at its lab nearest you.7

Can I send it back?

If it arrives damaged, misprinted or not what you ordered, tell us within 30 days of it arriving and we have it made again or refund it, with no need to send it back. In the UK you can also change your mind until 14 days after it arrives and send it back at your cost for a refund.8

Does the framed print come with a mount?
