About

You've spent your life looking at the Moon. Now stand on it - and look back. Above a silent lunar landscape, Earth hangs in the darkness: a blue world of oceans, continents and swirling clouds. It turns before your eyes, changing from a slender crescent to a luminous full Earth. Welcome to Lunar Aspect, your window onto the cosmos from the Moon. SEE HOME IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT Watch Earth's phases unfold. Follow the boundary between day and night across its surface, and discover Earthshine: sunlight reflected from our world that softly illuminates the lunar night. MAKE TIME MOVE AROUND YOU Let days pass in moments. Watch the Sun drift across an airless sky, casting long shadows over the ground. Away from the poles, sunrise to sunset lasts roughly two Earth weeks. The sky stays black even in daylight. Familiar celestial rhythms become extraordinary. WITNESS AN ECLIPSE FROM THE OTHER SIDE From Earth, we call it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, Earth passes across the Sun: a solar eclipse from your new viewpoint. Explore these alignments and the warm light filtering through our planet's atmosphere. Then reverse the spectacle and watch the Moon's shadow travel across Earth. FIND YOUR PLACE AMONG THE STARS Pan across the sky, zoom toward Earth, tap named stars and planets for information, and jump to celestial events. Take the guided tour or choose your own place and time to explore. CHOOSE YOUR LUNAR HORIZON Stand at Tranquility Base, explore a polar viewpoint, or venture to the far side, where Earth stays out of sight. Across most of the near side, Earth lingers in almost the same patch of sky. Near the lunar limb, its slow wobble can carry it across the horizon. A UNIVERSE IN YOUR POCKET The astronomical view is calculated on your device. Explore offline, including in aeroplane mode. No account required. Real astronomical calculations bring the sky to life. Lunar terrain and selected visual effects are illustrative; event timings are simulated predictions. A familiar universe. An unfamiliar point of view.

What's New in Lunar Aspect

1.0.1

September 24, 2026

This update adds sharing, an Earthrise to jump to and a cinematic Earth, gives the whole app a cleaner, redesigned look, and brings a round of fixes for iPhone. ADDED • Share this moment: send a link that opens the same date, place, view, zoom and speed in any browser. The first time, a card explains exactly what will be sent; Copy link sits beside Share. • Earthrise at the limb: a new Jump to that takes you to Mare Orientale, on the edge of the Moon's near side, as Earth rises over the skyline, lifted by the Moon's slow wobble. Try 6 hours a second to watch it climb. • Cinematic mode: enlarge Earth from 1× to 7.5× with a slider. The bigger Earth eclipses the Sun it covers on screen, while readouts and event times stay true to life, and the top bar says "Cinematic mode" while it is on. • Now, at the top of Jump to: back to the present moment, running in real time. • Jump to in the bottom bar, so every event is one tap away without opening a menu. • Faster speeds: 2, 3 and 5 days a second, between 1 day and 1 week. • Show planet names: a switch of its own, separate from the horizon guides. • A Rate button in the info panel. CHANGED • A new name: Lunar Aspect: Moon Planetarium. • A new look: one typeface throughout, with clearer text sizes and colors. • The speed button shows the rate in words (such as "1 week/s") and opens the list of speeds. • Fast forward and rewind step the speed up and down instead of jumping an hour. Pressing the other way slows down first and only reverses at real time, so one tap never flips the clock at full speed. • Places open in the app's own list, and long names wrap instead of being cut off. • The info panel is a card with a title and a close button; tap ? again to close it. • On an upright phone, Place & time and Readouts open without hiding the top bar or the time controls. • The hide buttons sit at the left end of each bar, and the restore buttons appear in exactly the same spot. • Jump to is laid out in pairs, with shorter names. FIXED AND TUNED • The top bar and bottom controls no longer sit under the status bar or the home indicator, upright or on its side. • Every quick tap counts: pressing fast forward rapidly no longer loses presses. • The sunset and sunrise glow no longer shines through the hills. • Labels in the sky are drawn at their proper size on phones. • Place & time no longer scrolls sideways on iPhone. • The privacy policy link is easier to read.
