Can you complete the 'Moonsaic'?

We've turned a picture of the Moon taken by the Liverpool Telescope into a jigsaw! Can you solve it? The completed picture shows you where the Apollo missions landed on the Moon! Six Apollo missions visited Earth's nearest neighbour between 1969 and 1972!

Have a go!

Click and drag the pieces to complete the jigsaw!

To rotate a piece with a mouse:

  • Place the cursor over the piece and move the mouse wheel up (left rotation) or down (right rotation).
  • Or, press the left (left rotation) or right (right rotation) arrow key. Note: this way is useful for one-button mouse owners (Apple).
  • Or, press Ctrl + right mouse button to rotate left or press only the right mouse button to rotate right. Note: this way works only if the piece is dragging.

To rotate a piece with touch:

  • Tap on the piece and then tap on the appeared left or right rotation icon.

The clock at the bottom of the screen times lets you know how long you take to complete the puzzle. Once you've finished, why not have another go and try to beat your time?!
