Oh, OK, I Won't...

Well, I can't begin to reach the moon, so how could I possible touch it?  Oh, wait, they mean this model of the moon.  It is a beautifully detailed, six-foot diameter moon globe in relief, in the lobby of the Vanderbilt Planetarium.  Hundreds of kids stream through here every day, and how could you possibly resist touching such an amazing object?  It is a magnet for little fingers who want to touch all the mountains and craters.  Only thing is, if too many people touch it, the matte finish on it gets shiny, and it ruins the effect.  Thus the sign.
