This interactive 2D map offers a live snapshot of our planet, showing the real-time positions of both the Moon and the Sun in the sky. You can instantly see which parts of the world are bathed in daylight and which are wrapped in night, thanks to a subtle day-night shading effect that moves smoothly across continents as the Earth rotates. The bright zone represents daytime—where the Sun is currently above the horizon—while the darker regions show where night has fallen. The Moon icon tracks its current position relative to the Earth and Sun, providing a fascinating visual of how it travels across our sky.

🌍 Did You Know?

• The terminator line (the dividing line between night and day) is not perfectly vertical—it shifts with the seasons due to Earth's axial tilt.
• The Moon rises in the east and sets in the west—like the Sun—but its path shifts by about 50 minutes each day.
• When the Moon is near the Sun on the map, it's a New Moon. When it’s on the opposite side, you’re looking at a Full Moon!

🎥 Lunar Phases of 2025 — A NASA Visualization

This stunning NASA video shows the Moon as you've never seen it before. Watch as it completes its monthly cycles throughout 2025, revealing not just the familiar phases—from New Moon to Full Moon—but also detailed astronomical data in real time.

The video shows:

• 🌗 The changing Moon phases across the year
• 🌍 The distance between the Earth and Moon as it varies in its elliptical orbit
• 🌀 The libration or gentle wobble that lets us see slightly more than half of the Moon's surface over time
• 🎯 The constantly shifting subsolar (Sun-facing) and sub-Earth points
• 🔭 The Moon’s angular diameter in arcseconds as seen from Earth
• 🌌 The tilt of the Moon’s orbital plane around Earth

It’s a fascinating look at how dynamic and complex our closest celestial neighbor really is.
