This is actually a trial for selling RL ads on the SL moon, which is in turn a test for putting RL ads on the RL moon.

Why else would NASA be so interested in lunar travel?

This will lead to SL ads on the RL moon.

I must be getting jaded; I saw the million dollar sun,, and don't feel the need to look for the million dollar moon. Seen one celestial body with an eye hand symbol and the number 1,000,000 on it, seen 'em all.

It would be nice if it was a little more direct getting a closeup on stuff in the sky.


Hmm, it should be possible to use the camera controls to make you look directly at the sun or moon, shouldn't it?

There will be other silly things on the sun and moon; remember to look at them on holidays.

Make a transparent cube. Put it above you. Left click on the cube and use the mousewheel to zoom in. When you reach maximum zoom, you suddenly start on some weird "macro"-zoom, which only happens with transparent or semi-transparent objects. That way you can use such cubes like a telescope.

Best regards,

It does that from time to time. Well, not this partiucular imprint, which I only saw starting around the 20th. Still, on holidays you'll often see this. There's a selection of piccies of 'em on the history wiki, under "misc.".

Is the moon/sun client-side or server side? Be cool if you could replace the texture with your own.

Oooh, never look directly at the virtual sun, or you will burn out your virtual eyes... of course, you can always go shopping for new ones, so... nm :D

You may not be able to afford placing an ad on SL's moon, however, bids are being accepted to place your logo on my moon.... left cheek and right cheek available, both in SL and in RL.

It's really there,, but one does not preclude the other. :D

Doesn't anyone Remember Easter when the Sun was a Giant Easter Egg? I have Photos of it. And Once The Moon was a Huge wheel of Cheese. I remember a few others over the Last couple of years as well I think it keeps things Interesting.

Lets hope Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong doesn't learn about this!
