Detailed 12-inch lunar globe depicting the surface of Earth's moon with labeled maria, craters, mountain ranges, and other lunar features identified from mid-century astronomical surveys. Notable locations including Mare Orientale, Mare Pacificus, Mare Fecunditatis, Langrenus, Petavius, and numerous impact craters are clearly marked across the globe's surface. The sphere retains its original printed cartography and is accompanied by a custom lathe-turned wooden display stand that securely supports the globe while complementing its scientific presentation.
