and it is topographically accurate,
the globe is a truly accurate
1/20 million replica of the Moon featuring all the craters, elevation and
ridges in accurate 3D,
product designer Oscar Lhermitte has collaborated with design studio Kudu to produce a globe of the mooon that incorporates a moving 'sun' that rotates around the globe,
with three settings, you can manually twist the moon to the
position you desire, place it on demo mode to let you see all phases in 30
seconds, or switch it to live mode to have the piece synchronize with the
current position of the moon itself, in addition to a physical similarity to
the moon, the globe also has an intrinsic connection to it, MOON’s
computer system has the exact same memory as the Apollo 11 computers that
landed the first men on the earth-orbiting giant, although not yet in
production you can find out more on MOONs Kickstarter page and no I am not on commission! but what a great teaching aid for future astronomers.
