This extraordinary 12″ diameter globe accurately depicts the geographical features of the Earth's moon, including craters, seas and mountain ranges. NASA approved.
Is the moon really made of cheese? Is there really a man in the moon? If you're tired of answering these questions without evidence to support your claims, Replogle has your answer in this 12-inch globe. Resting on a clear plastic stand, the Moon Globe is not attached to the stand, so you can pick it up and explore the moon. Find where Apollo II landed, locate the Sea of Nectar, or find the Cordillera mountains and the Lake of Dreams. With a true-to-life colored background of the moonscape with three-dimensional shading, this globe has enough detail to keep any moon-obsessed student busy for hours. A supplementary booklet entitled The Story of the Moon comes with the globe and includes many facts about surface features, spacecraft probes, phases and changing appearance of the moon, tides, eclipses, and more. The booklet also includes an entertaining quiz section with problems and activities. Get ready for some moon gazing! --Heather Hawkins, mother of 2-year-old Duncan, is a 10-year veteran teacher of the arts and a professional actor and director.
