MOVA Globe - Earth with Clouds Prestige (8.5") | Self-Rotating Globe Powered by Light | Silent Motion, No Batteries or Wires | Unique Desk Decor or Gift for Space Lovers

it's really cool, & high quality. for some reason I thought that ordering it "with clouds" would mean that the clouds would have their own "layer" ,so to speak. It seemed in the video like the clouds moved "separately" from the land. On further thought, I guess that would be hard to do, & in reality the clouds don't move very fast, & change all the time. It looks great & I'm glad I got it with clouds (even though they stay the same), because it still looks more realistic than "no clouds" would.

This is a beautiful piece of art! It's very soothing, just sit back & relax. Every one that comes over loves it. A great conversation piece & excellent quality. No regrets, worth every penny.

Absolutely astonishing! Makes a great conversation piece. Everyone that comes in my house asks about this and wants to sit and watch it. This makes the perfect gift for any occasion for that hard to shop for man in everyone’s life!

I love this globe! It is elegant and piece for my office. I get a lot of compliments on it. The globe works well under full spectrum LED grow lights and did not spin under regular LEDs. It is a bit pricey but well worth it.

This is our second Mova globe. First one was Jupiter and it is extremely fantastic. It impressed us so much that we will continue to get more of these. I got the Earth with clouds for the second one and currently have the moon on the way.

What I wish was different: 1) the outer sphere is shiny so there's a bright reflection from any light. Would a non-reflective Plexi be better? 2) it is always oriented with north at the top, so you're stuck with one view of the globe. What I like: it's beautiful, the colors are gorgeous, the oceans are a deep deep blue. And it's hypnotizing, you can just keep watching it rotate, waiting for Australia or Africa to come around again. I really appreciate that there is no writing or lines on the globe. I am astonished that there isn't even any writing, not even the word Mova, on the stand the globe sits on. It really is a satellite view, complete with clouds. The downside is that the clouds are always there, in the same places, so most of Scandinavia, for example, is never seen. Some other facts: it's surprisingly heavy. it's not tilted on the earth's axis. It's straight up and down. The rotation speed depends on how much light it's getting, but when it's getting enough light, the rotation speed is consistent. The rotation is smooth. I think it's well made. I would say the globe is probably not so much for information or education. It's for beauty and wonder. I wanted to buy the one with no clouds, but it wasn't available so I bought this one. Don't know if I'll splurge and buy the other one when it becomes available. It's even more expensive. But no regrets, glad I bought it.

This thing is amazing! So much so I've bought 5 of them for presents!!! Absolutely mesmerizing!

Love this thing on my desk. Watch it every day. Relaxing.

Lovely. Will not break easily. Delivery man threw it over my front gate and I heard it hit cement path. It works well. WAS WELL PACKED. Expensive but worth having if you can afford one. This is my second globe and they complement each other nicely.

Works as advertized. To the same extent the work of art as of science. Amazing!

Bought as a gift. I was skeptical as I thought it would look cheap but I must admit it's a beautiful globe and definitely not cheap

Heel mooi product, het werkt ook goed. Wanneer er licht op valt draait het rustig rond.

Der Globus ist sehr dekorativ und braucht tatsächlich nur sehr wenig Licht um sich permanent zu drehen. Wirklich schönes Dekostück.
