Is there such a thing as a "moon" lamp in addition to a sun lamp?

I moved from one of the sunniest states in the union, to one experiencing record rain. Tonight I cannot see the full moon and it is depressing me. I realize I do not only miss the sun but also the night sky. Thought on how to combat this?

Response by poster: Oh... I guess not literally a "moon" lamp like this because I miss the moon phases and seeing the stars. I consequence of so much rain is not seeing the universe.

Some sort of home planetarium projector like this?

Best answer: I was going to say home planetarium also, but kickingtheground beat me to it. Maybe watching a remote telescope would help?

Google Cardboard + a VR-compatible night sky map app will let you view the night sky (cloudlessly!) to your heart's content. I like to lie on the living room floor and stargaze.

I have a wall device that tracks the moon phase, like this
