Desktop Globe COLUMBUS Planet Globe Uranus Regent Ø 40 cm

Uranus is the third-largest planet in the solar system and rotates very fast around itself (one whole rotation within 17 hours). It is very far away from us, twice as far as Saturn! It takes a full 84 years for it to complete one full orbit, thus completing one Uranus year. The planet was only discovered in the sky in 1781, it is barely visible to the naked eye. Because of its enormous distance from the earth it appears to us only inconspicuous despite its size.

The classic and elegant yet puristic sparkling mounting obtains its dimly glimmering shine through a special stainless steel finish - or you prefer a mounting made of mirror-finished massive brass. Whatever you decide: This product of great manual skill transforms your globe into an expression of a particular quality of life, which will continue to bring you joy for decades.
