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?

Everything you have ever wanted to know about Earth's only moon is featured in this attractive National Geographic product! Displaying our solo natural satellite in both near and far hemispheres, this map explores moon missions, the lunar month, comparative size to other moons, our moon's impact on tides, and more.

This dual-hemisphere map of the moon 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 detailed progression of the Lunar Month reveals just what part of the moon you are seeing when you gaze up at night, and physical features and properties are explored in great detail.

This map is an attractive product for the budding astronomer. It makes an essential companion to Solar System: The Sun's Neighborhood.

Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.

Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
