Home Desktop Weather Station with Galileo Thermometer and Fitzroy Storm Glass Predictor

Galileo Thermometers are magnificent creations that bring Galileo's 400-year-old principle of relative density to functional reality. These accurate indoor thermometers, encased in brilliant glass, represent the intersection of art and science. Each Galileo is precisely manufactured, with liquid-filled floats that vary in weight by grams to ensure a stately and orderly procession of ups and downs as the temperature changes. The temperature tags are attached by hand, and the fluid in the floats and cylinder is carefully calibrated to the same density for optimal performance. Crafted with laboratory-grade glass, these sturdy, fascinating instruments showcase the marriage of science and art.

Four centuries ago, Galileo discovered that specifically weighted floating bubbles would predictably rise or sink in a liquid as the temperature changed. The Galileo Thermometer recreates this scientific principle in a decorative glass form, with floats precisely weighted in 6-gram increments, suspended in a clear, environmentally safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to determine the temperature, which is measured in 4-degree increments from 64°F to 80°F, with an accuracy of within 2 degrees.

Accompanying the Galileo Thermometer is the Storm Glass, a mysterious weather-predicting device utilized by Admiral Robert FitzRoy in the 18th century, most notably during Charles Darwin's famous voyage on the HMS Beagle. The special combination of liquids inside the glass can foretell weather changes through the appearance of streaks, cloudiness, flakes, and crystals, providing a captivating and useful weather indicator without relying on external methods.

The Galileo Thermometer and FitzRoy's Storm Glass are part of the Desktop Weather Station from Lily's Home, showcasing the integration of scientific principles and artistic design for practical, day-to-day use. The Galileo Thermometer, with its five multi-colored spheres and gold-plated tags, functions best indoors within the 64°F to 80°F temperature range, while the Storm Glass predicts weather patterns 1-2 days in advance, helping users plan their days accordingly.

Housed in a beautiful cherry-finished wood base, the Galileo Thermometer and Storm Glass set is a perfect gift for home and garden enthusiasts.
