Explore Mercury with this vibrant 6" globe created in "enhanced color" to emphasize the variances on the planet's surface.
Astronomy magazine is proud to unveil the all-new 6" Mercury Globe - available exclusively from MyScienceShop.com. Developed by the staff of Astronomy magazine, this globe was produced using images from the Mercury Dual Imaging System aboard the spacecraft MESSENGER.
This richly detailed, injection-molded 6” desktop globe shows an astounding 211 planetary features identified and labeled. You’ll find many features you can see on Mercury labeled, including Antoniadi Dorsa, Budh Planitia, Beagle Rupes, Pantheon Fossae, Raphael Crater, and many others.
If you’re into astronomy, you simply won’t want to be without this incredible new depiction of Mercury.
Each globe is made of long-lasting durable plastic with just a single seam between hemispheres and comes with a clear acrylic display base and informational flyer. The base doubles as a magnifying glass.
