Mova's Cassini Terrestrial in Seafoam Green is a great gift for history buffs. The old-world map has oceans in a soothing green that enhances the antique feel of the globe, while featuring a historical map produced in 1790 by Giovanni Maria Cassini that chronicles the three voyages of Captain James Cook. The map includes a red ecliptic line around the globe which shows the path of the sun for every day of the year.

Each handcrafted globe mingles vibrant artwork with a patented technology for flawless rotation without batteries or messy cords. Hidden solar cells use ambient light for power, while the earth’s magnetic field provides the necessary torque. These elements work in unison to power a whisper quiet mechanism, allowing the globe to rotate within a clear outer shell. Each piece is assembled with such precision, it appears the inner and outer layers are one – rotating without any outside power source.
