Abstract

A moon phase display includes a frame and a plurality of display elements supported by the frame and rotatable relative to the frame. The plurality of display elements further includes a first side face on which an illuminated moon portion is depicted and a second side face. A first rotational position in which the first side face is arranged along a display plane wherein the first side faces together arranged on along the display plane represent a full moon. A second rotational position in which the second side face is arranged along the display plane. A drive rotates each of the plurality of display elements independently. A controller actuates the drive so that each one of the plurality of display elements is rotated into the second rotational position until all of the plurality of display elements are located in the second rotational position.
