Moon
Lunar Globe
Product Description
Formed about 4.51 billion years ago, the Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, and the brightest celestial body in our night sky. It's no wonder why it has served as a source of fascination and inspiration to cultures around the globe since the dawn of humankind.
Experience the Moon's ethereal beauty in incredible detail, day or night, with the topographically accurate Lunar Globe, an expertly crafted work of art and science made using data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Their team of designers begin by creating an accurate, 3D printable Digital Terrain Model constructed from stereo image data— carefully detailing the Moon's craters, mountains, and mares in exact 1/11.5 million scale. Each globe is then rotocasted in pigmented polyurethane resin from the 3D printed master copy with a layer thickness of only 100 micron, and then finally hand finished by master artisans in the UK.
This incredible piece comes complete with a certificate of authenticity, and an A2 Moon map to help you identify notable features, including famous craters like Copernicus, Tycho, Clavius, and even those located on the ever mysterious far side of the Moon.
