And she looks like the moon. So close and yet, so far.

To celebrate the 50th-year anniversary of the Moon landings, I've created ultra high-resolution, zoomable and annotated images of the moon (3.6 gigapixels), solar system (0.1 and 10 gigapixels) and northern and southern sky (0.1 & 10 gigapixels).
These maps add to my maps of Superclusters and Voids, bright stars and canonical IAU constellation asterisms and 2017 Pi Day starchart of extinct animals and plants.
Maps come with lovingly curated labels, placed just so. The 100 megapixel pocket maps have either fewer objects or no labels and the 10 gigapixel map have it all.
Why? Because space is `T = 3 \text{K}`.

▲ The northern celestial hemisphere. Millions of stars and thousands of deepsky objects.
▲ The southern celestrial hemisphere. Millions of stars and thousands of deepsky objects.
▲ The position of planets and key asteroids on any day.
