1) Click a button to download the chosen graphic.

 

2) After the graphic fully loads, right-click it then click Save Picture As and send it to any location in your computer’s hard drive (My Pictures and Pictures are good.)

 

3A) To make it your computer wallpaper, right-click the image from its saved location then click Set as Desktop Background.

 

Don’t worry if it seems the wrong size or poorly resolved.  Your computer will adjust it to fit (assuming that within your Windows XP Control Panel, Display/Desktop is set to Stretch.)  If using Windows Vista, right click your desktop background then click Personalize and Desktop Background and choose the positioning option on the left.

 

3B)  To print to paper, left-click “Print” or “Print Picture” and use landscape mode.

NOTE: A relative brightness factor has recently been added under Full Moons. When both Sun and Full Moon are at average distances from Earth with Moon on ecliptic and sunlight allowed to pass through Earth, the factor is 1.000.
