Standard globes show you what you can see from a distance; this NASA-sourced radar imaging globe shows you what lies beneath. Created through a specialized partnership between Astronomy Magazine and Replogle Globes, this 12-inch sphere transforms complex radar data into a tangible, beautiful map of the Venusian surface.
Scientific Exploration for Your Desktop
Experience a planet mapped by the Magellan mission using radar altimetry. Every color variation serves a purpose: vibrant reds and whites highlight the jagged highlands, while cool blues and greens represent the vast lowlands and plains of a world where traditional photography is impossible.
Why This Globe Matters
Venus is permanently shrouded in an opaque atmosphere. This topographic globe is one of the few ways to physically interact with the planet’s actual geology. It provides an essential reference tool for educators and space enthusiasts who value transparency and scientific precision in their home or office decor.
