Venus Globe - 12-inch

Pull back the veil on Venus and explore the fascinating and unforgiving surface that hides beneath the clouds!  Developed by the staff of Astronomy magazine along with USGS cartographer, Trent Hare, this globe was produced using images from the Magellan Venus Radar Mapper, gathered from thousands of microwave pulses with near-100% accuracy. This richly detailed, injection-molded 12” desktop globe shows an astounding 226 named geological features, as well as 10 landing sites. You’ll find many features you can see on Venus labeled, including Beta Regio, Atanua Mons, Epistle Regio, Var Mons, Maxwell Montes, and countless others. If you're a planetary observer, you'll be able to experience striking colors and rich details you can't see even with a telescope. Each globe is made of long-lasting durable plastic with just a single seam between hemispheres and comes with a clear acrylic display base.
