A 6-inch textured moon globe held in mid-air by a magnetic base, spinning slowly on its own once you set it floating. The base is touch-controlled and there is a remote for the 18 color modes, which range from the natural gray-white moon look to full color washes. It runs on wall power through the base, so it can stay lit and levitating indefinitely rather than running down a battery. Getting the moon to catch the field takes a few tries the first time, and once it is seated it stays put. Best fit: desks, nightstands, shelf styling, and space-themed kids rooms, plus anyone who wants one object in the room that does something.
Pros
- The moon actually floats and rotates, which reads on camera and in person
- 18 color modes cover both realistic moon gray and full color room lighting
- Touch base plus a remote, so you are not reaching behind furniture to change it
- Runs on wall power, so there is no battery to recharge
Cons
- Seating the moon on the magnetic field takes practice, and a bump can knock it off
Frequently asked questions
Does the moon really float, or is it on a stand?
It floats. A magnetic base holds the 6-inch globe in the air with no physical contact, and the moon rotates slowly while suspended.
How hard is it to get the moon to levitate the first time?
Most people need a few attempts. You lower the moon slowly into the field until it catches. Once it is seated it stays there, but a hard bump to the table can drop it.
Does it need batteries?
No. The base plugs into wall power, which is what generates the magnetic field. That also means it cannot run cordless.
Can I turn the light off and still have it float?
Yes. The levitation and the LED are separate functions, so you can leave the moon spinning without the color modes on.
