This design is a pattern composed of partially lit orbiting circles. The moon is a co-planet of the earth, going around the sun together. To use this planetary (lunar) phase diagram pattern: • note that the sun is far away at the top; • start at the centre of a big blue planet; • figure out where you are in the day or night; • head out towards the surface in that direction; • take a similar line from the centre out to the moon which is the best match for relative position; • and you should be able to see how much of it is visible. • note also that the surface of the planet is rotating and carrying you around with it. Sometimes the earth will be in the way of you seeing the moon at all! Eg in the middle of the day, if the moon is right overhead, you're not going to see very much of it - and it might even be a solar eclipse. Whereas, in the middle of the night, if the moon is right overhead then it will be a full moon or possibly a lunar eclipse. Otherwise the nearest boundary of day and night (whether it's morning or evening and regardless of hemisphere) will be somewhere off to your left or right as you look outwards and the moon will similarly be at some offset position from you. Currently displaying a version in Spoonflower's bedtime contest palette. Other colours, stylings, sizes and orientations are available on request and you can even ask for a custom mixture of designs.
