These unusual thermometers contain colorful orbs which rise and fall to indicate the current temperature. Crafted of high quality glass and individually calibrated to achieve an accuracy of 2¡F, these thermometers are timeless works of art. The tag on the lowest sphere in the top group indicates the current temperature. Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His findings provided the framework for Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity. His discovery that the density of a liquid changes in proportion to its temperature, inspired the invention and explains the accuracy of the "Galileo Thermometer".

Makes a great, novel
My 94 year old Mom got one as a gift, she then asked me to order 3 for her to give as gifts. She's now ordered another, and I plan to order one as a gift soon. Very unique, very accurate, colorful and interesting to watch. Makes a great, novel, gift.

Great gift idea
This is the second one i have bought as a gift. The quality is great, shipping is fast, and the packaging is superb. This one was for my father who comments on it evey time we talk on the phone. Its as beautiful as it is interesting.

An absolute delight. Fun to watch ... may not be as accurate as my digital thermometer, but it's a lot easier on the eye.

Fragile
it does smell bad when you break it, and inevitably you will; a great product if you know how to treat it and don't expect spot on accuracy
