Lunar Globe Gives You An Incredibly Accurate Look At The Moon

Lunar Globe Gives You An Incredibly Accurate Look At The Moon

You probably won’t ever set foot on the moon, but you can still daydream about space. And you can also lose yourself in Sky & Telescope‘s lunar globe.

For $US100, you get one very accurate, very beautiful piece. In the past, products like these have been based on artistic renderings. However, this one is made from 15,000 real images taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. (Sky & Telescope says it’s the first time the moon’s topographical data has been updated in 40 years!) It gives you a precise look at the moon, labelled with more than 850 geographical features like craters and valleys. You can even see where Neil Armstrong took his first steps. [ShopAtSky]
