\"\"<\/img><\/a>LunarPhase Pro\u2019s Main screen shows data at a glance (click for a full-sized view)<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

The Moon has seen a resurgence of interest in the last few years, both in space exploration and among amateur astronomers. Of course, it\u2019s always been of interest to military people, hunters, fishermen and gardeners as well as to those where the Moon plays a large part in their religion.<\/p>\n

Telescope sales have exploded in the last five years as the cost of a decent instrument<\/a> has fallen so low that very good \u2018scopes now only cost a couple of hundred dollars. This has opened up the skies to a whole new generation of skywatchers.<\/p>\n

As our cities grow ever larger, the amount of lighting has also increased and many city-dwellers are hard-pushed to see anything but the brightest stars in their neon-glow skies. But the Moon, being the second brightest object in the sky (after the Sun) suffers no such indignity. It serenely crosses the sky, ever visible (providing clouds allow!) regardless of the amount of light pollution.<\/p>\n

\"Discover<\/img>
<\/br>
\nDiscover the Moon with the Lunar Explorer<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

LunarPhase Pro<\/b> produces a calendar of Moon Phases (a moon phase or lunar calendar) amongst many other features. By using the integrated observation planning tools and the general lunar data presented on screen, you\u2019ll be able to easily plan for an observing session and be productive while observing.<\/p>\n

\"Zoom<\/img>
<\/br>
\nZoom into the Moon map<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

Want to know when the next full moon occurs or the moon phase today, when the moon will be visible tonight or when is the full moon this (or any) month? LunarPhase Pro answers these questions and includes a huge range of features, all integrated together into one low cost solution.<\/p>\n

No other moon astronomy software package matches the range of tools included.<\/p>\n

Described by one reviewer as the Swiss Army Knife of Moon software<\/b>, LunarPhase Pro has been written with you, the observer, in mind and is very easy to master and use. Its simple, yet powerful features will provide you with the information you require to make your Moon observing sessions more fun!<\/p>\n

Astronomy For Kids<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re into astronomy for kids, then the software is a great teaching tool and many teachers have bought it to educate their pupils about the Moon and its motions.<\/p>\n

Astronomy For Beginners<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a beginner in the world of astronomy and new to amateur astronomy, then there\u2019s no better object to start your astronomical journey with than the Moon. No matter how light polluted (or not) it is where you live, the Moon can always be observed, apart from when clouds get in the way.<\/p>\n

\"Emulate<\/img>
<\/br>
\nEmulate view through a telescope<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s far more to the Moon than an orb that moves about the sky. With LunarPhase Pro, you\u2019ll discover the phases of the moon, lunar libration and where and what features are on its surface. And the software has a telescope simulator just for those cloudy nights when they do occur!<\/p>\n

Moon Phases<\/h3>\n

While the Moon\u2019s phase is constantly changing, there are four well-known lunar phases: full moon, last quarter, new moon, and first quarter.<\/p>\n

In between these four major phases, the moon goes through additional phases, changing slightly each day: gibbous waning moon, crescent waning moon, crescent waxing moon and gibbous waxing moon. These all make up the 8 phases of the moon.<\/p>\n

Using LunarPhase Pro, you\u2019ll be able to see these phases occurring at an accelerated rate (with the animation of the moon for a month) and you\u2019ll see how the changing phase, combined with lunar libration changes how the moon looks from day to day.<\/p>\n

LunarPhase Pro has been built to a large degree on the suggestions and comments from users and I\u2019m only an email away if you have any queries, comments or suggestions.

I am in Iraq stationed north of Baghdad, and I saw your program and really liked it. I fly Apache helicopters for the U.S. Army and the phase of the moon has a lot to do with our missions at night. The Apache doesn\u2019t need illumination from the moon for night flying because our night system is infrared imagery, but we support ground troops who use night vision goggles that do require illumination from the moon. This program will help me keep up with moon phases without checking our weather reports. \u2013 Glenn Phelps<\/b><\/p>\n

I have now had a good explore of LunarPhase Pro and I must say it is a really nice piece of software, well worth the money. I can only give it a thorough \u2018thumbs-up\u2019. Very nice and I\u2019m sure it is going to come in very handy with all my lunar explorations. \u2013 Mark Zambelli<\/b><\/p>\n

I am very happy with your product. It is more than I thought it would be. I have spent hours studying the moon on my first day with Lunar Phase Pro. I have learned more tonight than I have learned the last number years of reading and sighting the moon through my telescope. And the weather hasn\u2019t bothered a bit! Thanks, Gary, for helping me through the installation process. Your customer service is excellent. I am very happy. \u2013 Gary Cowles<\/b><\/p>\n

I am completely gobsmacked with what you have produced.

Mankind is also going back to the Moon within the next few years. Many nations now have Moon programs underway, either in the planning stage, as exploratory spaceprobes or as fully commissioned ventures to return humans there. It\u2019s about time! It\u2019s been 51 years since Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon and 48 years since Gene Cernan, the last man on the Moon, removed his foot back in 1972. It\u2019s been far too long! LunarPhase Pro will let you dip your toes in the water and discover the Moon\u2019s Phases and various other phenomena. Get acquainted with our nearest neighbor!<\/p>\n

LunarPhase Pro will work on Windows 98\/Me\/NT\/2000\/XP\/Vista\/Windows 7\/Windows 8\/Windows 8 tablets\/Windows 10.<\/p>\n
