Sure, the Moon’s pretty and all but it’s never there when you feel like gazing at it. When it is full you’re always running late, not in the mood or just don’t care. Frankly it’s just not good enough. If this is you then get yourself a remote control moon from the Discovery Store.

It hangs on the wall, has a built-in light sensor so it knows when to turn on and rotates through 12 lunar phases. It even has a remote control and an audio CD with a guided tour of the real moon. Swish! $US29.99 from the Discovery Channel Store.

Bring the beauty of the moon right into your room with this authentic, remote control, model moon.

• Built-in-light sensor illuminates moon when it gets dark
