The globe sits loosely in a white plastic stand, supported by three curved uprights, on tapered stem and round base. The box is decorated with a paste-down color picture of the moon and rocket. The 14-page accordion-fold educational booklet, titled Lunar Globe Log Book<\/strong>, contains information about the moon and globe. It also has a log of moon exploration events beginning with Luna I, the first lunar exploration satellite launched by the USSR on January 2, 1959, to Apollo 11, the first manned mission to land on the moon on July 20, 1969. The log continues with a lined page on which to continue to record moon exploration events. The rest of the pamphlet reproduces photographs of the moon\u2019s surface taken from spacecraft.<\/p>\n

Tin lunar globe on white plastic stand, in original box with booklet. The globe is screen printed with photographic images of the moon\u2019s surface and divided by a raised black and white striped equatorial band into the side facing the earth and the \u201cdark\u201d side not visible from earth (rendered in a lighter shade of blue). The earth side is a composite of photographs taken from the U.S. orbiter Copernicus. The other side of the moon is based on photographs taken by astronaut William Anders aboard Apollo 8 (December 1968), and is incomplete; a comprehensive picture of the dark side was not yet available. Craters and other geological features are labeled in green, impact and landing sites of spacecraft are labeled in orange.
