This is a rare moon globe recording interplanetary Russian space travel of 1959, before the 'back' of the moon had been recorded by the American Apollo flights. Although the photographic information for this globe was taken in 1959, the publishers were only able to obtain the information in 1963, probably to 'advertise' the Russians' space supremacy. Hermann Haack (1872-1966) was being an author of globes, first published in 1914 by Justus Perthes in Gotha.
