The floorstanding Starship Earth Globe features a sphere within a sphere. The outer sphere is transparent; on it the different stars are named; the text is printed on the inner surface of the transparent outer sphere, so cannot be defaced or scratched off. The smaller central Earth sphere sits directly in the middle of the outer sphere, and has an adjustable horizon ring. A variety of adjustments may be made to the Earth and its horizon ring, to give correct starfield orientation; rotating dials reproduce their relative movements. Comes with a clear, acrylic tripod stand.
