The Artificial Moon was built from over a thousand energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs and has been shown in major exhibitions and festivals across China and Europe.
This extra large bright sphere measures around 13 feet wide.The Artificial Moon's design goes farther than just creating a metal base and mesh and applying 1000+bulbs.The bulbs have been perfectly placed to reflect the moon's craters and surface features.
