Constellation Spinning Globe

$218.00

Inspired by the Wonders of Creation exhibition, this Constellation Globe is modeled after a stunning 16th-century Arabic star map. The original map, with its gold depictions of the night sky, guided ancient astronomers. Now, you can bring that celestial beauty into your home.

Each of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union is clearly represented with star shapes, dots, and lines. These details show the stars’ varied distances and sizes, just like on the ancient chart.

Set against a deep black background, the stars appear in metallic silver for a modern touch that still honors the original golden hues. At 4.5 inches, this globe is both a beautiful decoration and a tribute to ancient astronomy. Whether you love stargazing, history, or art, this globe makes a perfect addition to any space.

This stunning globe marries art with innovation. Hidden solar cells harness natural or artificial light to power its flawless rotation, while the earth’s magnetic field ensures a seamless, whisper-quiet spin—no batteries or cords needed. Expertly assembled, the inner and outer layers seem to move as one, offering an endlessly fascinating experience.

Elegant One-of-a-kind gift
Turns using ambient light
Hidden magnets provide movement
4 1/2 inches in diameter
No cords or batteries
