You can now decorate your desk or wall with the prominent features of the moon and Mars thanks to NASA spacecraft data and a Smithsonian partnership.
Master Replicas Group has introduced its first two "Space Terrains," scale models of the moon's Tycho crater and the Olympus Mons volcano on Mars. Each ten-inch (24.4-cm) cast-resin square is based on the information from NASA's Lunar or Mars reconnaissance orbiters (LRO or MRO).

If they issue one for "Mount Marilyn," I'm sure Jim Lovell will be first in line to order one!

Worth keeping an eye on.

I've received the first two.
Olympus Mons is excellent, though I would prefer it had been positioned a little less in the corner of the frame. Tycho is good but somehow less impressive. After viewing the enormous photograph at the USGS in Flagstaff, I was hoping for something a bit sharper.
