6" Levitating Uranus Globe
Rotating Uranus on Silver Base w/ Space Probe Model
A detailed model of Uranus that not only floats
but also rotates within its sleek silver electromagnetic stand. This 6"
globe of Uranus was composed using a collection of images taken by NASA's
Voyager 2 spacecraft during its visit to the planet in 1986.
Uranus
is depicted here with its serene atmosphere of an aquamarine hue, this hue
is caused in part by the absorption of red light by atmospheric methane.
Included with the globe is a 6-page informational booklet with details,
dates, and specs of both the planets, and the probes.
The globe levitates freely in a computer controlled magnetic field
underneath a realistic model of a Voyager 2 space probe used to gather
data on Uranus. A built-in computer chip continuously adjusts the magnetic
field when atmospheric changes are registered ensuring that the globe
stays suspended. Rotation of the globe is controlled electronically,
simply give it a slight spin and watch it continuously rotate. A unique
and very interesting globe for anyone fascinated by astronomy, space
exploration, or the planet Uranus.
