Custom-produced by the Astronomy team and Ross A. Beyer of NASA's New Horizons team, this highly-detailed globe is perfect for exploring Pluto. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft launched in 2006 and reached Pluto in 2015. Scientists had expected a frozen, cratered, and long-dead world with an equally old-looking system of moons. Instead, Pluto's surface is young, with smooth frozen plains, icy mountains as high as the U.S. Rockies, topography that resembles dunes, a glacial lake, and ice that has recently flowed around other features in the same way that glaciers move on Earth's surface. Each globe is made of long-lasting durable plastic with just a single seam between hemispheres and comes with a clear acrylic display base and informational Pluto flyer.
