April 23rd, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in Science

Moon is one of the many wonders of nature that from time immemorial have made people talk about it, philosophers wonder about it, poets penning compositions which ultimately led scientists and astronauts to reach out for it.

If you are one of those who love spending calm and quiet evenings enjoying the beauty of the moon and stars, you could opt for the Sky & Telescope Moon Globe so that you could learn a lot more about our natural satellite. The replica of the celestial body has been said to be the “the first entirely new globe of the Moon’s surface in more than 40 years” put together with photographs derived from “the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera [LROC], launched aboard a NASA spacecraft in 2009“.

The diameter of the updated lunar globe measures 12 inches and showcases a dark surface with “more than 850 named features and spacecraft landing sites on the lunar near and far sides. It also comes with an explanatory sheet.” Price is approximately $100.00.
