The essential map for all Moon watchers.

A beautiful hand drawn lunar map for the 21 century by modern day lunar cartographer Dr. John Murray.

The awesome allurement of the Moon is brought to life in this practical map for Moon watchers which locates, describes and indexes more than 500 physical features on the visible side of the moon. Who hasn’t marveled at the lunar landscape whether glancing up from Earth or being gripped by NASA imagery?

Ever since the 1960s, when Neil Armstrong walked those first steps on the lunar surface, we have had a particular fascination with the Moon, but that grip goes back to the dawn of humanity. Our nearest neighbor in space, the Moon is hugely important due to its impact on tides and many other natural cycles that surround us, so to be able to look and read its landscape is especially revealing and valuable.

With practical information on the best Moon watching techniques and tips, we capture both the magical and the practical aspects of lunar locations.
