Astra: Moon Phase 3D

Explore the Moon through an interactive 3D lunar view.

Astra shows the Moon's phase, illumination, age, distance, and orbital geometry. Use optional foreground location to adjust the view for your perspective, or continue with a default equatorial view.

EXPLORE THE LUNAR CYCLE

• See phase-aware lighting and lunar surface detail • Review illumination, lunar age, distance, elongation, and hemisphere • Drag the timeline ruler to explore dates across the lunar cycle • Discover selected lunar eclipses and the Mid-Autumn Full Moon

MAKE THE VIEW YOURS

• Adjust the Moon's on-screen size with the vertical zoom control • Lock the Moon's rotation to its Earth-facing side while the lighting changes with the selected date • Show or hide the animated satellite visualization • Expand or collapse the compact timeline and lunar information

DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY EXPLORATION

Astra is available for iPhone and iPad. Location is optional, and no account is required. The animated satellite is an artistic visualization inspired by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter; it is not live mission telemetry. Astra is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NASA.

Lunar values are estimates for education and general observation, not navigation or professional scientific planning.
