Throughout human existence, the moon's enigmatic face and monthly waxing and waning have inspired intense fascination. Part of the mystique for ancient cultures might have lain in its unchanging aspect as it traversed the celestial sphere. The same lunar face permanently looks down on Earth because of "tidal locking." In 2013, NASA announced that its GRAIL mission had solved the gravitational mystery - but what other mysteries lurk on the far side of the moon?
The surface of Earth's closest neighbour in the solar system has been mapped since antiquity, but never with the fidelity that NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has provided. Thousands of photos from the spacecraft were stitched together into a mosaic of the surface.
This dual-hemisphere map of the moon, drawn in Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection, makes this desolate landscape both familiar and far too alien. Thousands of craters are identified on both the near and far sides, offering readers a glimpse of the side of the moon that never sees the face of the Earth. A separate hemispheric elevation map and the phases of the moon provide further detail into this celestial body so long revered by humans.
This map makes an essential companion to Solar System: The Sun's Neighborhood and its size makes it perfect for a gallery wall.
The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.
Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.
The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.
