Nick Sherman has in his porftolio, among other beautifull design and typographic works, this great information design piece, which shows the position of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon through the time on a vertical calendar. A reduced view is even better.

Nick notes:

“In this form, it makes it a bit easier to comprehend the relative rate of rotation between the planets. Even a quick glance makes the patterns in motion easy to see; patterns that are invisible in a standard box-based calendar.”

I completely agree with Nick on one thing: Information Design is about making patterns visible.
