"I received the posters this week. It is awesome! Better than I
pictured. I brought one to the astronomy club last night and they loved
it as well. They are going to frame it and post it in the 'snack bar'
area."
"If only I had come across this poster first. Last year I purchased
another Moon poster for half the price, but now I see why; it just
didn't have what this poster does -- loads and loads of information.
Definitely recommended."
Jorgan Kies - Aerospace Engineer (Sweden)
"This is a nicely done poster that really isn’t comparable to any of
the other maps in the Selenography section of the Lunar Library. It’s
much more colorful, and well-illustrates the variety of Lunar concepts
it describes.
"Well-suited for an educational setting, I’ll guess that as young as
junior high would find it helpful, though it really seems more geared to
the high school/college level. Its size tells me its target audience is
educational institutions, from schools and universities to planetariums
and museums and it is printed on some pretty sturdy stock.
"A large, nicely rendered 44.5 cm diameter illustration takes up the
center and left of the poster. It’s a very pleasing blue, darker and
purpler than the recent reissue of Rukl’s “Atlas of the Moon" and quite
easy on the eyes. It’s hard to tell if it’s entirely hand-drawn, or hand
drawing on a background image, but names an extensive number of
features, and uses the power of color to highlight different types of
features. It is in telescope view, so South is at the top, since a
telescope is what you would be using to get the level of detail conveyed
here.
"This is a very nice resource. I’m torn between framing it to hang in
the Lunar Library, or mounting it on foam board to use at outreach
events."
"It's always supposed to be more
difficult to buy presents for men, and though this incredibly
detailed poster map of the moon would appeal to anyone into
astronomy, it's certainly a likely contender for those male targets.
"At the heart of the poster is a
photographic moon map with all sorts of details - not just the lunar
geography, but Apollo landings and the site of other probes.
"It is also surrounded by a huge
host of informational panels from details of specific features of
the moon to statistics, details of what's going on under the surface
and even chemical analysis maps.
"In fact, if there's one complaint
about the poster it's that there's just too much detail. You have to
be able to see it quite close up to get all the information on
there, so it will need careful wall placing.
"Even so, it's a great complement
to the home observatory, the bedroom of a space nut or the office of
someone who likes to peer up at the night sky."
"The poster looks quite fantastic, in a league with the classic
National Geographic moon map."
John R. Shibley - Photographer/Writer (USA)
"That looks good, lots of info. Your poster looks like it would
be good in schools too."
Dick Ahlstrom - Science writer for the
Irish Times (Ireland)
"Wow—this is one
really nice poster. Nicely done—did you do this yourself?"
Joe Breault (USA)
"I've learned so much about the Moon from this poster. Some of
the material covered has shown me that I definitely need to learn
more about our wonderful next door planet."
Taylor Hughes - amateur astronomer (United Kingdom)
"Thanks for all your hard work in
creating that poster, I wish you much success."
"This poster has it all, and far out-beats any I've seen in the
field. It will take pride of place on my observatory
wall. So full of
detail - a credit to the time you spent in putting it together. Well
done!"
Angelina Markus - Photographer and part-time research assistant
(Denmark)
