Blog - Moon phases
A new collection has emerged inspired by the beautiful sky, steeped in stardust and dreams. The collection consists of eight different moon phases and is the perfect way to immortalize the birth of your baby, your wedding or first date. The moon reminds us that we are connected to the stars and that we can dream big, achieve our goals and shine as brightly as the moon in the night sky.
When you look at the sky at night, you see the moon shining with its magical moonlight. But why does the moon always seem to change shape when the sun illuminates it? It has everything to do with the lunar cycle and its various moon phases. The lunar cycle is the period it takes the moon to orbit the Earth once. During this period, you see eight different phases pass by that always follow a fixed, predictable pattern. This cycle lasts about 29.5 days. Hence, the term 'month'. As the moon orbits our planet, it reflects light from the sun. These are the different moon phases we see on Earth each month.
What do you already know about the moon and its different moon phases? Depending on where you are standing and where the moon is, you will see a certain part of the moon illuminated. As you already know by now, the moon has eight phases. In order to clarify exactly what these moon phases mean, we will go through each of them briefly. We are only too happy to explain this to you. After this, you will know exactly what your moon phase means and what it stands for!
