MOON is the first topographically accurate lunar globe created with data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. The globe features a detailed 3D representation of the lunar surface including like the craters Tycho and Clavius, as well as displaying the current lunar phase.

The designers of MOON are raising money on Kickstarter to produce the detailed replica.
