I received my Replogle NASA Moon Globe on June 24 of 2010.By that evening I had noticed that the longitude lines on the northern hemisphere didn't line up with those on the southern hemisphere.Upon investigating this minor annoyance I discovered that the southern hemisphere was attached almost 180 degrees out of sync.The far side of the moon was under the near side.Because the globe had an indicator to show where areas visible from earth ended it should have been obvious to whoever put it together that the western limit of moon visibility in the northern hemisphere had no business being just above the eastern limit of moon visibility that was written on the southern hemisphere.This review is simply a warning to anyone buying the globe.Check it out!

Although I gave my moon a single star, I anticipate that the company will replace it with a correctly constructed globe.That globe will indeed be worth a five star rating.The globe is beautiful and for someone who is interested in lunar observing it will serve as a handy reference.(But probably not completely replacing the laminated Sky and Telescope Field Map of the Moon)

I purchased this for use at astronomy outreach events for my astronomy club. The globe has been very helpful at showing people the features they see on the the Moon using our telescopes. It serves that role very well.

The globe seems solid and durable. The plastic stand makes it easy to demonstrate details around the globe. The globe includes very many craters, mountains, rilles and other details. There are labels for interesting locations such as the various manned and unmanned missions. It also shows the limits of the surface that is visible from Earth.

Why only 4 stars? Sometimes there are so many names that some features are obscured. Also, the dark shading of the lunar maria is not indicated on the map -the whole surface is the same shade of grey.

Overall, this is a very good product for our use.

This is a deceptively nice globe. As it sets on the shelf at a distance it appears a monotone silvery gray-green unremarkable globe.

This is a free standing globe that sets on a clear plastic stand. Nice 12" size. Looks and feels like a quality globe.

This globe is meant to be picked up and held. Very detailed craters and seas/plains are marked and named. I had no idea so many famous names were used for objects on the moon. The more you look the more you see. East and west terminators are marked so you know when you've reached the "DARK SIDE" Luke.

This has become a favorite here at the house. This is not a flash in the pan gift and might be ignored at first but if picked up, it will spark the imagination. A gift that gets better over time.

Unfortunately, the globe we received had the same map printed on both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. We expected a globe of the moon to have two distinct hemispheres, not the same one flipped and repeated.
