About this product

Product Information

In a convenient folded format, Philip's Moon Map is a superbly detailed, large-format map of the near (visible) side of the Moon. Specially drawn for Philip's by Dr John Murray, an expert on the lunar surface, the map is not only a highly accurate and clear representation of the Moon but is also a practical guide for lunar observers. More than 500 physical features - craters, seas, mountain ranges, peaks, valleys and rilles (elongated depressions) - are named and indexed, and the landing sites of unmanned and manned spacecraft are also marked. The observer can thus readily identify objects seen through binoculars or a telescope, or pick targets for a programme of observation. The accompanying text is a practical guide to Moonwatching, which explains how to use the map and highlights the most interesting lunar features. Close-up images of some of these objects show what the observer can expect to see. Also included are photographs of the Moon at each daily stage and a smaller map of the far side, as revealed by satellites. Guidelines on drawing or photographing the Moon are also included.

  • Nice big map

    A nice big map of the visible moon. Well detailed and easily read. Only slight and I mean slight criticism is that its glossy so reflects light indoors, however when under red light outside as you will likely use it, find it fine to use. I got it for a bargain 50% of the RRP, so at that price it was a steal!

  • The best current inexpensive Moon map hereabouts

    Very clear map of the Moon. Pin a copy on the wall for inspiration! Warmly recommended. I have been observing the Moon for nearly 50 years.
