A team of talented designers and engineers based in London have created a gorgeous and 3D lunar model, aptly and simply named MOON, that closely mimics the sun's position, effectively giving you the ability to enjoy watching the Moon cast shadows in your living room.
In addition to functioning as an accurate model of the Moon, the contraption is also equipped with an LED ring that mimics the position and lighting of the sun.
The MOON unit is currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, with a pledge of $637 required if you want to eventually get your hands on a moon and LED sunlight unit. If you have a big empty space in your living room and want to add a unique decorative touch, this 3D lunar model accessory might be perfect for you.
