Moon phases museum exhibit — actual physical exhibit reference photograph

Moon phases museum exhibit

A moon phases museum exhibit presents a protected cylindrical model on a round pedestal. Visitors compare the illuminated viewing area with the surrounding explanation, using a physical reference to discuss how the Moon’s sunlit half appears differently as the Sun, Earth and Moon change their relative positions.

THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM

Relate illumination to the Moon's appearance

A dark viewing structure provides a setting for comparing a model with lunar-phase interpretation. Moon phases arise because an observer sees different portions of the Moon’s sunlit half as the viewing geometry changes. The final explanation needs to identify the light source, Moon and observer in the model, and distinguish lunar phases from lunar eclipses.

Reference operation
Look through the viewing slots in the cylindrical exhibit. The current sampled close-ups are too dark to verify a complete phase-changing sequence.
Power & supply
Powered versions can be configured for 110/220 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The cylindrical viewing assembly stands on a round floor cabinet. Confirm the base fixing, service access, and electrical feed while keeping the viewing slots accessible.
Reference construction
The matching reference lists an artificial-stone countertop, Q235 support/shaft, PVC turntable, and opal acrylic lamp cover.
Configuration options
Appearance, interpretation language, controls and installation arrangement by project agreement
Daily operating schedule
8 hours per day
Scheduled maintenance
Every 30 days
Factory dispatch lead time
30–120 calendar days after design approval and receipt of the deposit. Transit time is additional.
Minimum custom order
One exhibit

Matched assembly drawing reference: 1100 × 1100 × 1094 mm (L × W × H). Complete matched physical exhibit, including its base and upper structure. Building works and visitor or service clearances are additional.

Reference configuration notes
Cylindrical viewing model
A dark cylindrical assembly occupies the centre of the pedestal.
Protected upper area
A transparent cover protects the model’s upper viewing area.
Rim buttons
Coloured visitor buttons sit along the pedestal edge.

BEFORE AN ENQUIRY

Questions & support.

24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, remote technical guidance and long-term after-sales support. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.

Delivery, installation & after-sales terms
Payment
A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
Packaging & transport
Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
Materials & painted finish
Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
Typical power · powered versions
Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
Product maintenance
Suggested inspection points: view-slot edges and cleanliness, cylinder/turntable retention, lighting, shaft and bearing condition. Confirm the service procedure at handover.
Installation & training
Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
Factory acceptance & handover
Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
Complimentary parts
24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
Warranty & repair labour
The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?

Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.

How prototype testing & samples work
Are ordinary Moon phases caused by Earth’s shadow?

Lunar phases result from the changing view of the Moon’s sunlit half. Earth’s shadow is involved in a lunar eclipse, which is a different event.

What still needs confirmation for this reference configuration?

The exact internal model arrangement, control sequence and whether model positions move require confirmation for the selected configuration.

What do the images and videos show?

The gallery labels photographs, video frames, renderings and the dimension drawing. Physical footage is identified separately.
