Galileo Thermometer Glass Multicolor Floating Spheres 9.5 Inch
Galileo Thermometer – Multicolor Floating Glass Spheres, 9.5 Inch Decorative Temperature Display
A timeless blend of science and art, this classic Galileo thermometer features hand-blown glass spheres in multiple colors suspended in a delicate glass cylinder. As the temperature changes, the spheres rise and fall to display the current ambient temperature — a beautiful and functional piece for any home or office.
How It Works
Each hand-blown glass bubble is filled with colored liquid and calibrated to a specific density. As the surrounding air temperature rises or falls, the liquid inside the cylinder expands or contracts, changing its density. Bubbles denser than the liquid sink; bubbles less dense than the liquid float. The lowest floating bubble indicates the current temperature — a principle discovered by Galileo Galilei in the 17th century.
Multicolor Floating Spheres
Each sphere contains a different colored liquid and is attached to a small metal tag engraved with a temperature reading. The varying colors create a visually striking display that changes throughout the day as temperatures shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the reading reliable?
The device is calibrated to clinical-grade accuracy in the specs, and the technique in the manual is the other half — correct position, timing, and stillness. Follow both and the numbers track with the doctors office.
What are the actual dimensions?
It measures about 9.5" at the widest point, with the rest of the numbers in the specs. Measure your spot against those before ordering — thirty seconds now saves a courier round trip later.
How hard is it to use at home?
One-button operation — wrap or insert, press start, read the result on the clear display. The manual is short because the device does the work.
Does it store past readings?
Yes — the memory holds the readings in the count listed, with averages where supported. Show the log at your next appointment instead of trying to remember.
