Placing the Sun…

The Sun’s position is computed from NASA JPL orbital elements; night and twilight are drawn for that minute.

Day and Night at Your Moment — which half of the world was lit

Which moment?

The night is computed for that minute: an hour moves the dark 15° round the world. That is why the time is needed too.

Date Time

A birth, a wedding, a New Year, a first step — any day from 1800 to 2050. The chosen place’s clock; with no place, Türkiye’s. The poster prints the UTC offset beside the time.

Place (optional) If chosen, it is marked on the map and the poster says what the Sun was doing there: how high above or below the horizon, how long since it rose or set.

Which size?

A world map is a wide picture; the landscape sheets are its natural shape. On the upright sheets the map sits above the words.
