Manufacturer's Description
What's different about the moon tonight? It's inside your room! This authentically detailed model of the moon hangs on your wall and shines moon light just like the real moon. The twelve different phase settings let you match what the real moon looks like outside. You can also listen to the audio CD to learn exciting facts about the moon and its unique relationship with the Earth. Switch the moon on and then you can set the phase you want by using the remote control. The RC allows for manual function or automatic mode for viewing the moon's phases. There is also an auto shut-off mechanism to preserve battery life. It is really easy to set up and no mains electrics are required.

A good night-light masquerading as the moon...
From an adult perspective this is a nice product. The moon is hemispherical and the size of a small dinner plate. It mounts to a wall using a single screw (not provided) and a keyhole slot on the back. It comes with a remote control that has an on/off switch, a manual moon phase control and an automatic phasing button. The moon will only illuminate in a dark room (light sensor) and can be set to full auto: in which case it'll come on as soon as the room darkens or manual: you control the on/off.
The moon has the ability to illuminate itself to show the phases of the moon (crescent to full). This can be automatic in which case the phase moves every 5 seconds (too fast perhaps) or manual. The manual mode is useful because increasing or decreasing the illumination makes the moon a useful mood-light in a bedroom etc. The illumination turns off after 30 minutes so you'll not fall asleep and drain the batteries. Oh, there's also a CD of moon related information for kids to enjoy.
Children will like this if only for the night light ability and it does look reasonably moon like with the slightly textured surface to simulate craters. I quite like it.

By the light of the Moon
Bought this for my 7/8 year old who is mad about space and astronomy, we all think it's absolutely magical. It's very realistic, gives off just the right amount of light and is suitable to play with or just to leave on to go to sleep to. I can think of a few other kids who will be getting these for presents. Just GREAT!

moon in my room
got this for my 11 year olds bedroom, he loves it, he leave it to come on on its own when it gets dark. It lights his room up alot. great fun as he said.
