The moon is the earth's only natural satellite and the only celestial body besides earth on which man has set foot. Through the efforts of the American Space Agency, NASA, the moon has been extensively mapped and explored for many years by virtue of the many lunar probes that they have dispatched to examine its surface.
Replogle's Moon Globe is a by-product of the many years of study by the dedicated researchers at NASA. This extraordinary 12" diameter globe accurately depicts such lunar features as craters, seas and mountain ranges. Interestingly, the seas have place names derived from weather or states of mind (Sea of Rains, Sea of Tranquility), while many of the craters are named for famous scientists, philosophers, mathematicians and explorers. One can even locate the landing sites of the six manned lunar missions on this superb, educational tool.
Standing 14" tall, the glossy sphere rests on a clear, plastic cradle enabling one to easily lift and handle it in order to achieve a more thorough examination.
