The Constellations MOVA Globe is one of our most striking and dazzling designs, featuring 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Constellations are groups of stars that are imaginatively connected to represent mythological characters, animals, and objects from human history. Here are five features and facts you should know about the Constellations MOVA Globe.

1. The Milky Way

Our solar system is part of a spiral galaxy – a large group of stars, gas, and dust that are connected by gravity – called the Milky Way. We call it the Milky Way because it appears as a milky band of light in the sky. The galactic center of the Milky Way is represented around the MOVA Globe and is depicted by hundreds of dots to represent the immense number of stars in its real counterpart.

2. North Celestial Pole

It appears that the constellations rotate counterclockwise around a fixed point at the top of the globe. This point is known as the north celestial pole. The globe as a whole shows us our view of the constellations in the night sky.

3. Stars and Lines

The stars are represented on the globe by various circles, dots, and star shapes. You will notice that some dots on the globe appear larger than others. The varying sizes of the dots represent the brightness of stars, with larger dots representing the brightest stars. Brighter stars are also depicted with rays. The lines connecting the stars outline the constellations.

4. Largest and Brightest

The largest constellation in the Milky Way is Hydra, while the brightest star is Sirius.
