Moon Globe Depicts the Most Famous Satellite

Years ago, Replogle took a break from their favorite subject, Earth, and ventured to the Moon. Replogle’s Moon globe is a 12” representation that takes advantage of our extensive knowledge of the lunar surface.

Since the 1960s, NASA has collected massive amounts of data on the Moon’s topography from numerous personal visits, extensive orbital photography, and telescopic observation. The resulting data has allowed Replogle to produce an amazingly detailed and accurate lunar globe that has earned the approval of NASA itself.

The Moon globe includes all of the significant craters, trenches, plains, mountains, etc. Also labeled are important locations from the various lunar landings along with key dates.

While the Moon globe will not fit well into the collection of a purist globe collector, the Moon globe is a nice complement to a globe collection and can serve as an excellent reference source for an astronomy fan.
