Same Moon

Different time zones. Same Moon.

Finding your next shared Moon…

但愿人长久,千里共婵娟
May those we love live long, and share this lovely Moon across a thousand miles. Su Shi, Mid-Autumn, 1076

Your next shared Moons

    When the Moon is up for each of you

    Next 72 hours. Pale bars: the Moon is up. Gold: up for everyone while you're all awake. Dotted: up for everyone, but someone's asleep. Click to move the map.

    The moonlit half of Earth

    The glow is everywhere the Moon is above the horizon; the shadow is night. Watch it slide west as Earth turns.

    What everyone gets at that moment

    Same Moon posts this in the family's iMessage group, each line in that person's language.

    The postcard afterwards

    Add the two photos from the moment. Until then you'll see the Moon exactly as each of you would see it, upside down if you're south of the equator.
