TFA Sputnik

"Sputnik" is a true classic! Like a globe, this extraordinary space object can be rotated and tilted, providing insights into the visible workings of a thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer. The thermometer and hygrometer operate with a bimetallic spring that changes its expansion with varying temperature and humidity. The can barometer responds sensitively to changes in air pressure, making even slight fluctuations visible. The current air pressure is marked by the setting pointer. Observing changes over time allows for accurate weather forecasting. Sputnik is manufactured in Germany, with a body made of plexiglass and a holder made of metal.
