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. Bright imagery is the hallmark of this globe, as every nation is highlighted in its own color - from pink and orange to green and purple. This makes it easy to differentiate between one country and the next, but also gives the continents a lively appearance when placed atop a vibrant blue ocean backdrop. It\'s completed with a glassy sheen, allowing the graphics to stand out even further. The MG-6-BOE comes with a clear three pronged acrylic stand, however there are more MOVA Globe stands to choose from right here. The Blue with Political Map design is also available in the alternate 4.5\" and 8.5\" sizes.Have any questions about MOVA Globes?
