MOVA Globes are designed to rotate silently on their own, using the power of light and Earths' magnetic field.

The brilliance of the night sky right in your living room. Each of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union is depicted using a series of star shapes, dots, and lines to give the impression of varied distances and sizes. Stars are shown in a metallic silver tone atop a deep black backdrop, allowing every shape to pop. Upgrade to the larger 8.5" globe for an enhanced version with additional detail, including outlines of each constellation along with historical information on the legends for which they are named.

The MG-85-STA comes with a clear three pronged acrylic stand. The Silver and Black Constellations design is also available in the smaller 4.5" size.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Mova Globes work?

The MOVA collection includes a range of world globes, star constellations and planets that gently turn using solar energy and the earth’s magnetic field. No batteries or wires are required. Simply place the MOVA globe on its stand and it will come to life. It turns whenever it is exposed to natural or artificial light.

The MOVA® globe floats at a perfect point of balance between gravitational forces and buoyant forces of the surrounding fluids. Carefully designed to operate in complete silence, the MOVA® globe turns at a peaceful and tranquil pace. The MOVA® globe creates the perfect focal point for any room or office.

MOVA have united highly technological concepts with intrinsic design, creating a product that is both intellectual and intrinsically beautiful. Have the world at your fingertips rotating in continuous motion. The inner globe graphic lies a quarter of an inch below the outer shell, but the fluid between the two magnifies the inner globe to give the impression of the surface appearing on the outer shell. The inner globe floats in an almost friction-free environment.

The energy to overcome the fluid friction is provided by natural or artificial light that passes through the design and is incident on specialized solar cells within the globe. An electric current provided by the cells powers a drive mechanism designed to move at low speed using very little power.

The earth’s magnetic field pushes against the drive mechanism much in the same way as it pushes against a compass needle to move it towards alignment.

These globes are available in several sizes and many different finishes. Choose from Political with geographical locations, Antique - reminiscent of classical maps of the world - Satellite - displaying the world as seen from space - and Planets.

How long do Mova Globes last?

While Mova offers a one year warranty on all of their products, these globes are built to last a lot longer than that and when cared for correctly will continue spinning for many more years to come.
