The Moon Orbit Vintage Pull Down, Lunar Cycle,Orbit of the Moon,Greek School Map
Rare vintage school wall chart in Greek language, depicting the Orbit of the Moon. The map is in Greek Language, made in Greece around the 00's by publishing company "Dion. & Vas. Loukopoulou co. Athens". The chart is printed on linen canvas, fixed on wooden dowels. The map can be easily rolled without additional damage and stored or the hanging twine is perfectly intact for displaying.
It's a stunning piece that would make a bold statement in nearly any setting, ideal for studying since it was made for it, but even cooler to show off your home with unique wall hanging decor. A rare item for vintage map collectors and astronomy lovers.
These charts were used in schools throughout Europe as the 'graphics only' charts were able to be used in schools no matter what language was spoken.
The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this synchronous rotation.
