Product description This extraordinary 12 diameter globe accurately depicts

the geographical features of the Earths 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!
