This full photo realistic animation of a complete cycle of the moon (known as a "synodic month" or "lunar month") was completed in collaboration with, and based upon photos taken by Steampunk artist Dr Tim Wetherell for his large wall mounted project "Clockwork Universe" commissioned and to be shown at Canberra's Questacon - National Science and Technology Centre.

View Dr Tim Wetherell's website here:

The final completed version of this animation will be played as part of the installation and be more than half a metre in diameter.

    Hace dos meses acá en Sinaloa Mexico , se vió una luna con forma de U

    No era una c o c al reves

    Era una U enorme y perfecta..

    Alguien tiene una explicación?

    La semejanza con la U en la base de la virgen Guadalupana, o con el adorno de Osiris o ishtar era preciso

    We see the Moon because it is reflecting light from the Sun. The lit part of the Moon always points toward the Sun. As the Earth travels around the Sun, Sometimes it travels at an angle toward the horizon and sometimes it travels straight down toward the horizon. When the crescent Moon travels straight down toward the horizon, you will get the 'U' shaped Moon. This can happen once or twice a year, again depending on the latitude of your location.

    Great video and well timed to the music!

    BUT ...

    "To be shown in Canberra"? Then why, oh why, does it show the phases of the Moon from a NORTHERN-hemisphere point of view? (D-O-C).

    Can we please have a version suitable for the southern hemisphere? (C-O-D).

    we would of liked to do the view from the southern hemisphere, unfortunatly we need extremly detailed data for the bump maps for the craters which we were unable to obtain for the southern hemisphere

    Gracias por la atención Sr.

    Lo que me inquieta es que aproximadamente desde octubre 2012 estoy apreciando esa luna como u cuando supuestamente es creciente o menguante...No cumple su regla de ""This can happen once or twice a year,""...vivo en Sinaloa Mexico, en la siguiente ocación que lo vea sera en unos días, le tomare video y se lo mandare..
