LUNAR SURFACE – CAPTURE HUMANITIES GREATEST STEP THE MOON HAS CAPTURED OUR HEARTS AND IMAGINATION FROM THE DAWN OF TIME On July 20, 1969, the first human steps on the moon's surface were taken. This event captivated the entire world's attention and catapulted us into the space age. Now each of us can experience a small slice of this event through DeskSpace – the most detailed model of the lunar surface currently available at this scale. APOLLO 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Created using data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the beautiful topography of the far side of the moon has been recreated using jewelry-grade concrete. Hand-finished and presented on a precision machine space-grade aluminum base, this is a truly unique and fascinating item that will be a talking point in any home or office. Lighting Up The Surface DeskSpace wanted to honor the distinct beauty of the Portland cement material. The team recommends lighting each piece parallel to the main surface to highlight the dips and shadows of intricate texture in order to best show off the unique beauty of each impact crater.This is easily accomplished with a desktop lamp or ceiling light when the large piece is hung on a wall. Wall Version This gradual disintegration of the lunar surface gives it its distinctive look that we are all so familiar with. Standard Version This item matches all other DeskSpace pieces and can form a part of a beautiful space-themed collection. You can be sure that there will be the same attention to detail and consistent beauty across the entire range.
