About moonme

My son was fascinated by the moon — almost obsessed. Every night he wanted to know what it looked like, why it was sometimes round and sometimes just a thin crescent. This curiosity was contagious. And eventually, I asked myself: What did the moon actually look like when it was born?

I looked for posters that showed exactly that — and realized that they don't exist in that form. Not with real NASA data. Not with scientific accuracy. Not in a quality that does justice to the moment. So we built them ourselves.

Our moon images come directly from the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio — calculated from the terrain data of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the same probe that has been mapping the lunar surface since 2009. The same image basis that NASA uses for mission planning and science. Crater by crater, shadow by shadow, for every day in history — even for July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong took the first step on the moon.

moonme is a small, independent studio. Each poster is individually produced to order — on high-quality paper, with archival pigment ink, for a lifetime.
