Review: My third Mova, great to find via desertcart - I had two Mova globes already and have always loved them; they are unquestionably an indulgence, but one that gives pleasure indefinitely. I bought them quite some years ago, from a supplier that closed, so it was pleasing to discover David Shuttle as a reasonably priced source, via desertcart. The delivery was Fulfilled By desertcart at my local newsagent through the Pass My Parcel arrangement, so no problems there, perfect for an item this size. Well what more can I say ... as I already noted, I love Mova globes and was delighted to add this offbeat one to my pair of differently coloured 4.5 inch and 6 inch Earth globes. Pedants need to be aware, the globe is spherical ... yes I do know that the real Jupiter is easily seen to be wider than it is high. For those unfamiliar with the Mova globes, do note that they require a decent level of daylight to rotate. Even a couple of metres from a window probably will not do. An effective alternative is illuminating the globe with a couple of small LED spotlights. Of course this also works at night, certainly with the addition of ambient light from my main uplighter. I have placed my 4.5 inch Jupiter and my existing 4.5 inch Earth on either side of a bulldog statue, and all three sit on top of the home cinema front speaker mounted just below my plasma TV - probably not ideal from an audiophile point of view but I constantly enjoy seeing them when my attention wanders from the screen! Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, which I did in a hurry, but it gives you an idea of the positioning of the LED lights, which are clip-ons available from desertcart. Review: Looks fantastic - I’ve given this five stars even though you cannot position the globe anywhere you want if you are only using natural light. I have tried lots of places and the one in the image is the only place I could find that worked properly. I’m really happy with the position now which includes a moon which I bought about 18 months ago. They look fantastic and provide a great talking point. They actually appear to be floating which is fascinating. The only slight negative is that at £164 I think they are expensive. I feel under £100 is nearer the mark. Do I recommend this, absolutely ## Features - Jupiter in Motion – Powered by Light — This MOVA Globe brings the gas giant to life with solar-powered rotation and mesmerizing swirls, including the iconic Great Red Spot.

We offer the optional bases such as crystal or wood base but doesn't list on Amazon webshop. **Q: Is the Mova moon an actual representation of the real moon** A: I believe the print on the globe is taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images. Check on the MOVA website for confirmation though. **Q: I have just received my Jupiter globe and the top of the globe appears rather clouded. Is this normal or should I send it back?** A: Have the same one and is Crystal clear **Q: Is the base transparent, could I put a light source under the base?** A: Yes the base is transparent and you could put a light source under it but I am not sure what benefit it would give. It seems to work in all light conditions, mine only stops when it is completely dark and it is on a mantelpiece over an iron fireplace. As soon as either natural light or artificial light hits it, it starts to rotate. A friend of mine put it down on his table while he was doing something with the base and it took itself off, so be careful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My third Mova, great to find via Amazon *by M***H on 12 November 2016* I had two Mova globes already and have always loved them; they are unquestionably an indulgence, but one that gives pleasure indefinitely.
