The Selenic Shadowdial Lunar Chart of 1646, crafted by Athanasius Kircher, is a significant astronomical tool that illustrates the lunar cycle. This chart provides details on the timing of lunar eclipses and the Moon's position within the zodiac.

It was intended for use alongside a sundial. By aligning the shadow cast by the Sun on the sundial with the correct date on the chart, one could determine the Moon's phase and its position at that specific time. This innovative combination enabled individuals to track and predict lunar-related celestial events.

You'll receive a heavyweight, giclée, acid-free print that's created to last for generations. The museum-quality paper works perfectly with large, full-color images. The lightly-textured, matte finish captures fine lines and subtle colors, resulting in stunning works of art (without unwanted reflections). We've preserved elements of this art's ancient qualities in order to retain its richness and uniqueness.
