Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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)
