The Shawwal crescent, 2027
Six hours old, then thirty
The Moon is new on the morning of 8 March. At sunset that evening it is a hair above the horizon almost everywhere. One day later it stands high enough for every rooftop to see it.
Height of the crescent above the horizon at sunset, computed for each city.
Drag back to the evenings before, when it was too young to see, and forward again.
Put this crescent on your printThe thinnest Moon you will ever frame
A few percent lit, a bow of light with the rest of the disc faintly visible in earthshine. The print draws it exactly so, for your town and your hour, with the line you choose beneath it.
Eid Mubarak, in the family’s own language

About the Eid print
When is Eid al-Fitr in 2027?
It is expected on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March 2027, depending on where you are and how the Shawwal crescent is sighted. The studio opens on the evening of 10 March, the first evening of Eid for most families, when the young crescent is clearly visible; change the date to the night your family celebrated.
Why might Eid fall on different days?
Because the new Moon on 8 March 2027 is very young at sunset that evening: about six hours old and barely 1° above the horizon in Mecca, too faint for the eye. By the next sunset it is thirty hours old and around 13° up, easy to see. Communities that follow a calculated calendar and those that wait for a sighting can land a day apart.
Can the print be in Arabic, Turkish, Malay or Urdu?
Yes. The studio opens in the language of your country: Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu or Bengali, with Arabic and Urdu written right to left. Your family's name stays exactly as you type it.
Will it arrive before Eid?
Yes, whenever you order. It is a print file, not a parcel: it reaches your inbox within minutes, even on the last day of Ramadan.
Is the Moon on the print exactly as we saw it?
Yes: lit, turned and tilted as it was over the place you choose, at the hour you choose. A crescent low in the west after sunset is drawn as exactly that thin bow.
How big can I print it?
The file is 9,000 × 12,000 pixels, a true 300 dpi at 75×100 cm (30×40 in). One file prints for every household of the family.
