Previous moon globes have used airbrushed artistic renderings of the moon's surface, which aren't incredibly accurate. But Sky & Telescope used over 15,000 images snapped by Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter when creating the imagery for its new $100 globe.
Thanks to over 850 labels, you can also use the globe to easily find all the neat touristy locales, including craters, valleys, and even the Apollo landing sites. And remember, besides the globe you'll also want to pack your Visa card, because the moon doesn't take American Express. More here.
I want one, immediately!
ReplyDeleteWant because of reason o.o
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Want!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I once heard about conspiracy theory that declared the moon is in reality a brightly coloured planet and that media and government depicts it as black/white for some reason. Can't remember, but it was a good amount of fun reading that. :-D
