Lunawheel
For Calculating Moon Phases

This is one dandy little item! The Lunawheel is
an accurate, durable, compact, portable, perpetual
moon phase calendar.
In two simple
steps,
one can
determine
the phase of the Moon for any date 2000 years past or future.
With the Lunawheel, you can find the phase of the
Moon on the day you were born! Or days your parents and grandparents
were
born! Find the moon phase for any date in history -- the night
the Titanic sank, or Apollo 11 landing on the Moon! Lunawheel
in not only for science experiments, but can add interest to
history lessons!
To use the Lunawheel, simply find the year in the
yellow area and the month in the white area. The moon phases
are then read at the junction of the white and blue areas.
It takes a little practice to figure out, but soon you'll
be finding all sorts of stuff with this
clever circular slide rule! The lunawheel is small
and lightweight and handy.
The lunawheel is so much fun because you can calculate moon
phases for any time in history or in the future. We have had
loads of fun with that already and it had a practical purpose
as well. We were talking to a couple from church about going
to the local planetarium in November or December which has
a large telescope and one of them said, I wonder what phase
the moon will be in because that makes a difference to how
much you can see. So I got out the wheel and figured it out!!
