Lunar Globe

Throughout the 1960s, publishers used photographs of the moon captured by Soviet and American missions as the basis for new lunar globes. Produced in East Germany, this globe is based on images captured by Luna 3, the Soviet probe that made the first photograph of the uncharted far side of the moon in 1959. Two gores remain blank because the probe recorded only seventy percent of the far side.
