Milky Way Desktop Globe 6”
Milky Way Desktop Globe 6”
Explore the Milky Way with this detailed 6" desktop globe, developed by Astronomy magazine.
From a dark site on a clear summer or winter night, you'll see a band of light arching across the sky. Thousands of years ago, people imagined the milk of a goddess had spilled across the heavens. The Romans called the region Via Lactea (the Milky Way). In actuality, the Milky Way is nothing less than the full structure of our galaxy seen edgewise. As 18th-century scientists began to realize this, the Roman name for a cosmic highway became our galaxy's name.
Featuring 61 constellations identified and labeled, this injection-molded 6" globe is made of long-lasting durable plastic with just a single seam between hemispheres and comes with an acrylic base with built-in magnifier and informational flyer.

WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY
You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.
We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.
With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.
