Moon globe covered with a photographic map showing the topography of the lunar surface in simulated raised relief, with lunar craters and seas, and place names, all in tones of gray. The globe loosely rests on a metal ring base with copper finish, as issued. The map is based on pictures taken during U.S. missions. Landing sites are indicated for the first manned lunar mission, Apollo 11, on July 20, 1969, and for the later missions Apollo 12, 15, 16 up until Apollo 17 on December 11, 1972.
Moon globes became popular in the 1960s as people followed the American and Soviet space race, culminating in the famous Apollo 11 mission in 1969, in which Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.
