The MOVA globe is the first member of a new family of objects that come quietly to life when touched by light, without wires or batteries. The globe floats at a point of perfect balance between buoyant forces and gravitational forces, and slowly turns as it feels the force of the Earth's magnetic field and the energy carried in light. Its perpetual, quiet motion brings a tranquil point of focus to a room. Add more light and watch the Earth spin faster, dim the setting and observe it slowing. It really is an amazing sight to see!
The Mova globe works similarly to a compass in that the Earth's magnetic field makes this work!
This latest addition to the Mova Globe line features stunning satellite imagery of the planet Earth. With this cool view of the Earth from above, all can see world through the eyes of the universe. The swirling masses of clouds over green landmasses and water bodies portray a lively, gorgeous planet - right on your mantle or desk.

 Great Combination of aesthetics and technologyJul 28, 2010
I first saw one of these in a gift shop in Laguna Beach, CA. Was immediately captivated and bought one. I liked it so much I bought another one on Amazon for a friend. It's a great combination of creative technology and nice aesthetics. No batteries--all you need is a little light and some of the earth's magnetic field. The thing looks almost magical as it rotates.
PS - I had a question and contacted the vendor. They were responsive and helpful.

 Poor QualityJul 15, 2010
My globe didn't last 6 month. It developed an air bubble and stopped spinning. I don't recommend this product.
Very Nice! Quality item...Jan 31, 2010
Very nice piece! Love almost everything about it. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that it doesnt turn very fast at all under the light we have. If you shine a flashlight on it, you can see it turning, but with the natural light in the room during the day, and the lights on in the room at night, it doesnt move at all, or at least so slow, that its less than one revolution per day. Havent timed it yet. But this is not a deal-breaker for me - I can try to get a mini-light to shine near it one day.
Nice quality work, will be very nice for decades to come - and best of all, it doesnt go out of style.

Astounding!Nov 20, 2009
Just the right size and amazing to watch. A perfect desk decoration for any setting. Even if you're not a "globe," person, this is such a unique grown-up toy. Be prepared for it to be handled, It's impossible to resist a hands-on inspection. I have the satellite version and it really does look like a miniature Earth gently rotating.
