Columbus Globe Jupiter 34 cm Acrylic (72081)

Columbus planetary globe with a 40 cm diameter is a finely crafted table globe that combines scientific accuracy with elegant design.

The globe is made from acrylic glass, which is both break-resistant and heat-resistant, and features a hand-applied surface finish. The base and meridian are constructed from brushed stainless steel with a matte finish, giving the globe a refined and modern appearance. The planetary maps are carefully hand-laminated onto a 40 cm acrylic sphere. Each of the 12 individual globe segments is also laminated by hand with exceptional precision by a professional specialist, resulting in a high-quality product manufactured in Germany.

During the development of the planetary surfaces, great care was taken to ensure realistic color representation. For example, the Jupiter globe displays clearly visible stripes that represent its characteristic gas layers, making it easy to distinguish visually. Jupiter’s moon Europa is shown with prominent fracture patterns in its icy crust and only a small number of visible impact craters. Mars, Venus, and Pluto also accurately reflect their distinctive surface structures.

These planetary globes are not only decorative but also scientifically accurate. Currently, no other globe manufacturer offers planetary globes with this level of detail and craftsmanship.

They are ideal as a gift for space enthusiasts and also serve as excellent educational tools for schools, scientific institutions, and associations.

The classically elegant yet minimalist base gains its soft matte sheen from a special stainless steel finishing process. This level of craftsmanship turns the globe into an expression of refined living and ensures it remains a source of enjoyment for decades.
