• Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • Stargazer Map and Guide

The Moon's 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. Thus, we use the terms "Near Side" to describe the side always facing the Earth and "Far Side" to describe the side that had been hidden from humanity until the space age.

What's Included in The Moon Stargazer Map and Guide:

• Detailed maps of the Near and Far Side of the Moon.
• Helpful tips on Moongazing from Earth.
• A detailed index listing each feature to help you easily locate them across the Moon's surface.
• Landing and crash sites of spacecraft that have visited the Moon from Earth.

Additional Features:

• Graphics explaining the Moon's phases, rotations, and both solar and lunar eclipses.
• A comparison graphic showing the relative size of moons in our solar system, from Mars' tiny Deimos to Saturn's enormous Titan.

Every Stargazer Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making it waterproof, tear-resistant, and tough — capable of withstanding the rigors of repeated outdoor use.
