On the left side we have the controls. In the central part we can observe the earth, moon and sun from space, and on the right side we have the perspective from Earth.Select the place from where you want to observe the moon: northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere or the equator.Move the circle that marks the day of the lunar month to observe the different moon phases.Move the circle that marks the hour to watch the sky at different times.
