HOW MOVA GLOBES WORK

From their distinctive graphics to their advanced technology, it only takes one look to realize MOVA Globes are something special. MOVA Globes rotate with no batteries or wires using first-of-its-kind technology. Each globe has a transparent outer shell that remains stationary while an internal shell spins using advanced magnets for torque and solar cells to power the movement. Just turn on any light and MOVA Globes wake up and begin to rotate.

Expensive but worth every penny. Slowly spins 24 hours a day, using natural daylight and at night we have a low powered LED lamp near it. Was packaged extremely well. Will be buying more of these from this supplier.

If not applied strong and direct light on top of the globe it does not spinif the light is too weak it may spin-stop-spin to the other directions at timesthe colors don't look as pretty as I'd imagine Jupiter to be, but it still looks great.I showed it off to friends and let it roll on it's stand and on a table, it got many scratches that remain forever so be careful the globe is not scratch-proof, best let it rest somewhere it can look pretty, and not touch it

My 12 year old son wanted this. I was doubtful first because of the price but he absolutely loves the Jupiter one and is fascinated by it. It's beautiful and much bigger than we thought. It really starts going around when in the sunlight too :)

Upon opening the package, you can feel the heaviness of the planet. It’s high quality and the stand seems to be sturdy. It is mesmerizing to see the planet go around while you either hold it in your hand or if you leave it on the stand. Been a huge success with the whole family. Very happy with the purchase.

I made my first MOVA purchase years ago gifting a Van Gogh MOVA Globe to a friend. I was so impressed, that I ordered one for myself. Since that time, I have a purchased a total of 10 various MOVA globes myself. Their quality & uniqueness is what made me a fan. They are on the pricey side, but to me, worth the cost. Luckily, I purchased the majority of my collection for $160.00 or less (before the recent price increase to $198.00).

I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend who is a space enthusiast. He is really difficult to shop for and I happened to stumble across this gift after hours of online shopping. We both love this product! The product is unique and certainly a decoration that all of our guest rave about. The planet slowly rotates on sunlight and the earth's magnetic field. He loved the product so much he is now officially a collector of MOVA products and this make it much easier for me to find a Christmas/Birthday present for him for the next few years.The only downside to the globes are that they are expensive and more of a collector's item. With that being said it is certainly worth the purchase for any space enthusiast!

Gives you a nice touch in your office with this rotating sphere. For everyone who likes miniatures i would say MOVA does a incredible job with displaying them.

I figured this would be a cool nerdy desk trinket for the office - I was right. It looks really great sitting on my desk, and I read the size, 4.5", and had a picture in my head of how big it would be, but when I received it I was surprised at how large it actually is. As some others have mentioned, this globe is just slightly too blue for Jupiter, but I understand why and it's something I can easily overlook.From just looking at pictures and things, I wasn't entirely sure about how it worked or if the surface was glossy or not. It's basically the same as a ship's compass floating in water, only this is entirely encompassed in a clear outer casing and a fluid (probably water). The outer shell is a shiny plastic so it appears glossy, unlike the product image which makes it appear to have a matte look. The reason the print on the inner globe is slightly blue is to allow ambient light to pass through the image so it can hit the inner electronics to get the rotation going. It's not a fast spin - I have an office with three large windows that quite a bit of light comes in through, and today it took about 25 seconds to do one complete rotation.It's a neat thing to have on your desk, but I think it's a little pricey for what it is. I can see the seam on the outer shell and the inner print, but it's not noticeable unless you inspect it closely (a foot or two form your face). I probably won't buy another at this price, but I would at sub-$100 prices.

とにかく緻密な表面画像はすばらしいの一言です。ただし、購入後3カ月位から上の方に空気が溜まり始め、気泡が拡大している状態です。修理等のアフターケアが充実していると良いのですが。

I had two Mova globes already and have always loved them; they are unquestionably an indulgence, but one that gives pleasure indefinitely. I bought them quite some years ago, from a supplier that closed, so it was pleasing to discover David Shuttle as a reasonably priced source, via Amazon. The delivery was Fulfilled By Amazon at my local newsagent through the Pass My Parcel arrangement, so no problems there, perfect for an item this size. Well what more can I say ... as I already noted, I love Mova globes and was delighted to add this offbeat one to my pair of differently coloured 4.5 inch and 6 inch Earth globes. Pedants need to be aware, the globe is spherical ... yes I do know that the real Jupiter is easily seen to be wider than it is high. For those unfamiliar with the Mova globes, do note that they require a decent level of daylight to rotate. Even a couple of metres from a window probably will not do. An effective alternative is illuminating the globe with a couple of small LED spotlights. Of course this also works at night, certainly with the addition of ambient light from my main uplighter. I have placed my 4.5 inch Jupiter and my existing 4.5 inch Earth on either side of a bulldog statue, and all three sit on top of the home cinema front speaker mounted just below my plasma TV - probably not ideal from an audiophile point of view but I constantly enjoy seeing them when my attention wanders from the screen! Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, which I did in a hurry, but it gives you an idea of the positioning of the LED lights, which are clip-ons available from Amazon.
