Product Spotlight: Moon MOVA Globe
As Earth’s only natural satellite, the Moon has long fascinated scientists, astronomers, and dreamers alike. Although its features vanish into darkness during totality—the moment when the Moon fully obscures the Sun—many of those same features are beautifully detailed on our rotating Moon Globe.
Here are five key features to discover on the Moon MOVA Globe and some tips on how to style it within your space.
🌑 5 Key Features of the Moon to Explore on the MOVA Globe
1. Luna Maria
The darker patches visible on the globe represent Luna Maria, meaning “seas” in Latin. These regions are vast plains of solidified lava from volcanic eruptions that occurred around 3.5 billion years ago. In contrast, the lighter-toned areas are known as the Lunar Highlands, which sit at a higher elevation.
2. Mare Tranquillitatis (Sea of Tranquility)
This famous lunar region is home to Apollo 11’s landing site, marking the historic moment when humans first set foot on the Moon. Its smooth, dark appearance makes it one of the most easily recognisable features on the globe.
3. Montes Apenninus
The Apennine Mountain Range on the Moon stretches over 250 miles, featuring the tallest peak, Mons Huygens, which rises 17,424 feet high. These rugged, elevated regions are masterfully etched onto the MOVA Globe, offering a striking topographical contrast.
4. Copernicus Crater
One of the Moon’s most striking impact craters, Copernicus spans 58 miles in diameter. It’s known for the light-coloured rays of ejecta that fan out from the impact site—formed when material was blasted across the surface from the meteorite strike.
5. Tycho Crater
Located near the Moon’s southern pole, Tycho is another standout crater, measuring 52 miles across. Surrounded by a distinctive grey halo, it also features prominent ray patterns, suggesting it is a relatively young formation in lunar terms.
