Torica Transparent Astro Globe (model CA 101) 1960.

Rare Torica astro globe in good and original condition. This large Torica is a rare globe. The globe measures 60 centimetres high, diameter globe: 42 cm.

This astro globe has a transparent plastic celestial sphere for clear understanding of astronomical phenomena in a realistic three-dimensional setting, as true nature as a planetarium. This astro globe displays the conditions of motion of fixed stars, planets, the sun and the moon, relative to the earth, presenting detailed information as time passes.
