MOVA Jupiter Globe 4.5” – Solar-Powered Rotating Planet Display for Desk or Shelf | No Batteries or Wires | Floating-Style Space Decor

The media could not be loaded. I bought it as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and it is completely worth it! He has been wanting one for some time so I decided to swallow the fact that is a bit expensive and got him one and boy it was worth it. It's an amazing quality and you can just stay hours there staring at it. Now the entire family wants one as well. It does rotate faster with light but even during the night when it's standing still it is stunning

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

Absolutely stunning gift. So unique and cool.It is solar powered. So understand that some places in your home are better than others for the movement.

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 :)
