The Moon's Zipper!

 

Last Friday I went to the Desert Botanical Garden to see an exhibit that will only be there for one week called Museum of the Moon.  I had seen some photos on Instagram from the UK where it had been on display and I wanted to see where the garden would display this huge orb.

Unfortunately, the wind had taken a toll on this display and they were struggling to get it under control the entire time I was there.  No worries though, I had already planned to go back in the evening to see it after dark.  I spoke to a garden employee about the trouble they were having and she said that the moon's zipper  had broken causing it to collapse.  She said it was a simple repair but the unusually heavy winds that day were giving the technicians a lot of trouble and they were struggling to get it under control.  

I bet you didn't know the moon had a zipper!  

Tomorrow I'll show you the photos I took in the evening when the moon was once again perfectly round and floating in the sky.
