Globes and Lamps that Showcase the Best Images of the Moon
In the world of astronomy and home decor, a unique fusion is taking place. Introducing the levitating Moon lamps and globes, a captivating blend of science, art, and innovation.
One of the most intriguing creations is the levitating Moon lamp, a mesmerising piece that illuminates your space without the need for batteries. Constructed using biodegradable 'plastic' made from corn starch and other eco-friendly materials, this lamp boasts a wooden walnut base that houses a magnet, causing the lunar globe to levitate magically. The metal Moon globe, measuring 30cm wide, is meticulously crafted from aluminium and brass, featuring 3D surface details for an authentic lunar look.
For those seeking a more traditional lunar globe, the Replogle Luna Globe offers an accurate representation of the Moon's surface. Measuring 30cm across and weighing 700g, this detailed globe showcases lunar maria, craters, mountains, and other surface features on both the near side and the farside of the Moon. It also highlights Apollo landing sites, making it an excellent guide for observing features on the Moon either with the naked eye or a telescope.
Another interesting option is the National Geographic Moon Globe, which illuminates via an internal LED, casting a soft glow on its detailed depictions of seas and craters on the Moon's surface. For those who appreciate a touch of pop culture, there's the E.T. Moon lamp, a model recreation of a famous film moment, albeit without labelled lunar surface features.
AstroReality, the company behind the 30cm wide metal moon globe, takes pride in its accuracy, using NASA lunar data to create a handmade, intricate masterpiece. On the other hand, a 3D-printed Moon globe, available on Etsy, offers a more affordable, realistic recreation of the Moon using data captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Measuring just 7cm across, this globe is hand-painted for extra detail, making it a charming addition to any space-themed room.
Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty of innovation, these levitating Moon lamps and globes are sure to captivate and educate. They serve as a testament to human curiosity and our ongoing quest to explore and understand the cosmos.
