Moon Globe HD is a precision instrument that transforms your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad into a captivating tool for exploring Earth's Moon. This app combines satellite imagery and topographic laser altimeter data to provide a realistic 3D rendering of the Moon with accurate lighting effects.

With Moon Globe HD, you can use the multitouch screen to manipulate your view of the Moon. You can spin above its surface or switch to Telescope mode to see the Moon as it appears from your location on Earth. The app allows you to adjust the display time, allowing you to witness the shifting sunlight over the lunar landscape.

One of the standout features of Moon Globe HD is the "tag cloud" that floats just above the Moon's surface. This cloud labels various terrain features and spacecraft. By simply touching any label, you can obtain more information about that specific feature. Moreover, Moon Globe HD provides a dynamic sky compass that indicates the positions of the Moon and Sun in the sky.

Please note that there is a regular version of Moon Globe available for free, which is a smaller download. However, Moon Globe HD offers a slightly better resolution for those seeking a more detailed experience.
