Astronomy
magazine.
Just a decade ago, NASA launched what is arguably the most successful robotic lunar explorer in the history of human spaceflight - the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).  Now, LRO has cemented itself as one of the most prolific NASA missions to date.  The craft has not only mapped the Moon's surface in terrific detail, achieving over 98 percent coverage, it's also made a host of scientific discoveries that will inform and inspire lunar research and exploration for years to come.  Now you, too, can study the surface of the moon using these comprehensive images along with 300 of the most notable surface features and landing spots identified and labeled.
This richly detailed, injection-molded 6" globe shows 300 of the moon's most notable features and lunar mission landing sites.
Each globe is made of long-lasting durable plastic with just a single seam between hemispheres and comes with a clear acrylic display base and informational flyer.
