Family moon phase print: everyone's Moon on one sheet
Two to six Moons on one page, each at its true phase over the town and the day it belongs to: your children's birthdays, or the night you met, the day you married. Named and dated, to print and frame.
One price for two to six Moons, in all five print sizes, as PDFs a few minutes after you pay.
Two to six Moons Any day from 1900 to 2100
How it works
- Make it herePick the day, the place, a design and your words. The preview is drawn by the same code that makes your files: only the word "Preview" comes off.
- Pay onceBy card or Link through Stripe, tax included, with no account. Your day, place and words are deleted once the files are made.
- Print it and frame itFive PDFs a few minutes later, on a page whose link works for 30 days. A typo or the wrong day? Remake it free, once, within 30 days.
Five sizes in every purchase
Each a print-ready PDF. Print Letter or A4 at home on heavy matte paper, take 8 × 10 or 11 × 14 to any photo counter, and the 18 × 24 in poster to a print shop.
Each fits a ready-made frame of its size. To hang it with a white mat, buy a frame a size up with a mat cut for yours: an 11 × 14 frame matted for 8 × 10, or 16 × 20 matted for 11 × 14.

The gallery
Your Moons hung like photographs on a museum wall, in rows, each with its label below: whose it is, the day, the town and its phase.
The procession
Your Moons one under another on a fine line, in the order you give them, the words turning side to side: a family by age, or a couple's story from the night they met.
Every Moon as it really was
Each Moon is NASA's, from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's maps, lit to the phase it showed at that minute and turned the way it stood over its own town, so a Moon from Sydney hangs the other way up from one in Toronto. With a time, it's the Moon at that minute; without, the Moon that evening.
Nothing else is added: no stars behind them, because the nights differ and any one sky would be made up. Phases come from Astronomy Engine, on each town's own clock that day.
Questions
Who's it for?
A family's birthdays, for the hallway or for grandparents. A couple's story: the night you met, the day you married, the day the first child came. Or anyone's: the Moon over each of your hometowns.
What goes in the label?
A word or two under the name, or nothing: "born", "the night we met", "engaged on the pier". Leave the name empty and use only the label, if that reads better.
Can I change the order?
Yes: open a Moon in the list and move it up or down. The gallery reads in rows, left to right; the procession from top to bottom.
What if something's wrong?
A typo or a wrong day: remake it free, once, within 30 days, from your files' page. A file that's wrong or won't open is fixed or refunded within 60 days. A change of mind isn't refunded once the files are made (terms).
