There’s something about the cratered surface of our moon that gives it such a wonderful appearance as the sun reflects off of it in the night sky. Now you can experience that wonder every day – whether or not it’s cloudy outside – with this nifty Levitating Moon Desk Lamp.
Unlike the actual moon, this one is illuminated from the inside out, but it still looks pretty awesome. The floating sphere is created using 3D printing technology to replicate the textured lunar surface.
The replica moon measures about 5.9″ in diameter, and has LED lights and magnets inside to float effortlessly above its wooden base. It uses wireless induction to power the lights inside the floating orb.
While I think the moon looks best in its more naturally white color, it does offer two other color modes including yellow, and gradually fading between yellow and white.
You can put the moon on your desk for $99.99 over at Amazon, which is a whole lot less expensive than building yourself a rocketship to launch you there.
LG wants levitating speakers in every home, but what about gravity-defying humans? Well, science could well be on its way to making us float too, thanks to a breakthrough in sonic levitation. Engineers from the University of Bristol have demonstrated...
Today on In Case You Missed It: BBC One's nature show, "Spy in the Wild," partnered with a robotics division in order to design and produce two remote-controlled robot reptiles. Using bio-informed robotics, the team closely reproduced the creatur...
Scientists have long dreamed of using acoustic levitation to float objects, but there has been one big catch: you couldn't lift an object larger than the wavelength without being picky about what you're lifting. However, it might not be a problem go...
