Globe of Celestial

Product Code : SCL-ALE-11958

Globe of Celestial (SKU SCL-ALE-11958), also known as a celestial globe, is an astronomy teaching model that represents the imaginary celestial sphere around an observer and the apparent arrangement of stars in the sky. It suits astronomy, geography and Earth science lessons in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the globe at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, and sells it direct to institutions, resellers and tender contractors.

Specifications

Spherical by design, this celestial model has its specifications set out in the table. In short, it is a single three-dimensional globe for teaching the celestial sphere, star positions and sky patterns; its diameter, material, stand, markings and any rotation are confirmed on the quotation for the version ordered.

Applications and Experiments for the Celestial Globe

Placed where the whole class can see it, the globe introduces the celestial sphere as an imaginary shell used to map positions in the sky. Students can trace the stars and constellations marked on it, then compare the globe with a flat sky chart to see why astronomers picture the sky as a sphere.

• Middle-school science: stars, constellations and the sky seen from Earth.
• Geography: celestial orientation, set beside a 90 mm Compass whose dial shows the cardinal points.
• Senior astronomy: the tilt of the Earth and the changing sky through the year, followed up on the Four Seasons Appratus.
• Astronomy clubs, science exhibitions and teacher-led demonstrations.

Turn the globe gently if it rotates, never force the axis or stand, and dust it with a soft, dry cloth.

Standard Scope of Supply

One Globe of Celestial educational model is supplied from the Ambala factory. The quotation states its diameter, construction material, stand design and which stars, constellations or reference lines are marked, so you can check that the version offered suits the astronomy topics in your syllabus before ordering.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

You may request a price for one celestial globe or for a batch covering several schools or classrooms. Each quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and planetary models or other STEM science kits in India can be added to it.

Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. A globe quotation starts with a message on the contact page or an entry in the enquiry cart; formal bids follow the steps on the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a celestial globe and an Earth globe?
An Earth or terrestrial globe represents the surface of the Earth. A celestial globe represents the celestial sphere and can show stars, constellations or astronomical reference markings, depending on its design.

Which stars and constellations are marked?
The markings, coordinate lines and reference circles depend on the version supplied and are confirmed on the quotation. In lessons, point out only the features that are actually printed on the globe in front of the class.

Can the globe be used for navigation or precise star positions?
No. It is an educational demonstration model for explaining the celestial sphere, not a navigation aid or precision astronomical instrument. Use it alongside sky charts and a telescope for real observation.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Celestial globes on this page come out of the Science Lab Supplies workshop in Saha, Ambala, India. Because the maker prices them directly, the quotation, packing details and dispatch date all come from one source.
