Let the jewel-like sparkle of this sculptural Galileo Thermometer adorn your home while displaying the laws of thermodynamics. Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) invented the thermoscope, the world's first instrument indicating changes of temperature.
Today, modern science has perfected a 400-year-old principle and created a work of art. This 17" tall glass cylinder wall hanging Galileo is available with the ever-popular multi-color spheres in a solid oak frame.
The five fluid-filled glass globes descend as temperature rises, and ascend as temperature falls. Each one represents a 4°F temperature increment. You read the current temperature by looking at the lowest globe of those grouped at the top of the cylinder.
