The Universe series by Columbus offers astronomical globes that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern planetary research. These globes provide detailed and accurate depictions of the moons and planets in our solar system.

Columbus Planetary Globe – 40 cm Diameter

This globe is made from durable acrylic glass, which is both break and heat resistant. Its surface is hand-covered for a premium finish. The base and meridian are crafted from brushed stainless steel with a matte finish, ensuring durability and elegance. Each 40 cm acrylic sphere is carefully laminated by hand, with the 12 map segments applied meticulously by professional laminators. This process results in a high-quality product proudly made in Germany.

Realistic Planetary Details

Special attention has been given to accurately represent planetary surfaces and their colors:

• Jupiter: Displays recognizable stripes that represent its gas layers, easily distinguishable by color.

• Europa (Jupiter’s Moon): Features thick scratch marks on its ice crust with minimal visible impact craters.

• Mars, Venus, and Pluto: Reflect their unique surface structures and characteristics with precision.

These planetary globes are both decorative and scientifically accurate, making them unmatched in quality compared to other planetary globes currently available.

Ideal for Various Uses
