MOVA Globes are designed to rotate silently on their own, using the power of light and Earths\' magnetic field. Click here to see how MOVA Globes work. The Antique Terrestrial White globe combines a vintage map created in 1790 with modern updates that make it, unlike any globe you\'ve had before. Every continent and ocean is shown with absolute clarity and contrast, and it features lines showing the three voyages of Captain James Cook–a design element first created in 1790 by Giovanni Maria Cassini. The map also shows the United States which was very young at the time and not included on many maps. With its smooth, independent rotations, it\'s like history comes to life in your home or office. The MG-45-WCT comes with a clear three pronged acrylic stand, however there are more MOVA Globe stands to choose from right here. The White Cassini Terrestrial design is also available in 5\", 6\" & 8.5\" size. Have any questions about MOVA Globes?
