Earth's Moon [Tubed] (National Geographic Reference Map)
Available To Downloads

National Geographic’s “The Earth’s Moon” is like having an atlas and almanac in one. This incredibly informative wall map features detailed depictions of the entire surface of the moon with a selective index showing the named physical features. Diagrams show the moon’s orbital paths, rotation around Earth, librations, how solar and lunar eclipses occur, and how the moon affects Earth’s tides. The phases of the moon are detailed along with the features visible in each phase. Craters, mountain ranges, highlands, seas, rays, and other physical features are described, as are the moon’s physical properties, moon lore, and more. Comparisons to the moons of other planets in our solar system and information on the Apollo Missions is included as well. This map is both an attractive object of art and a handy reference tool for anyone interested in astronomy. The map is packaged in a two inch diamater clear plastic tube. The tube has a decorative label showing a thumbnail of the map with dimensions and other pertinent information. Sheet Size = 42.5" x 28.5"

Apollo and surveyor and luna landing sites included got an index so you can find mountains and crater with easy glance

A misspelling and its almost completely unframeable size make this one lose 1 star.Otherwise, a magnificent thing. All the detail is actually delightful. All the side charts are informative!I recommend this strongly.

good for my teaching. excellent printing. I have similar stuff but a lot smaller. this wall map is clear and students love it.

Large poster, bigger than a regular size one. Accurate and persise description of the moon and actual blown up photo. Very cool for anyone interested in astronomy/the moon/ etc.

This is a great poster of the moon with the names of the craters and mountains. There is a chart along both sides of the poster with names of the craters, etc and their location on the moon photo. However, this poster is very difficult to fit into a frame. I can't find any poster frames large enough (even cheap ones). There is a white border you can remove, but it still leaves about a 1/2 inch too much to fit in a frame. Otherwise a wonderful poster if you can find a way to hang it.

Fantastic details on the poster. I love it. Item arrived quickly with one or two wrinkles in it despite being in a shipping tube. Nothing worth fighting over as I had it laminated anyways.Great looking poster with tons of great information.

Love it, only giving it 4 stars because it arrived with creases that make white cracks in the poster. But they are hard to notice from far away.

it is a great map!!! the only thing i can say that it is not laminated as the one we had seen and is to big to take to our local office store to get laminated but it is a great map!
